Some text editors only allow one text cursor, but Sublime Text allows multiple. This is really useful, for example, if you want to insert the same word in multiple places.

Click anywhere in the code to place the text cursor. Cmd–Click (Mac) or Ctrl–Click(Windows) to place an additional text cursor. You can place as many cursors as you want!
