Thanks for the explanation. I had a similar question.
Additionally, I was wondering if there's a possibility to select all of the highlighted words (instances of a word), so they can be simultaneously edited.
I avoided doing a new topic because this one seems to be closely related to a question I have, and I didn't do a bug ticket since this might be intended behaviour:
How can I stop code completion (brackets, variables, etc) from breaking the simultaneous typing when I have multiple selections/cursors?
For example: I have two selections, and I start typing. When I add a left bracket, a right bracket is automatically added only to one field, and the multiple-selection thingie breaks (stops).
Any chance to avoid this?
