Multi-cursor editing feature in Visual Studio Code allows users to place multiple cursors in a file for editing several lines at once.
Benefits of using multiple cursors include renaming variables in multiple places, adding/removing code snippets, editing repeated structures, and commenting out lines quickly.
Methods include using the mouse to manually place cursors or using keyboard shortcuts for more efficient cursor management.
Keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down for adding cursors vertically and Ctrl+D for selecting the next occurrence of a word help streamline editing tasks.
