Unleash the power of the Alt key in PhpStorm

Unleash the power of the Alt key in PhpStorm

​One of my favorite shortcuts / features of PhpStorm is the alt key select mode. It offers you to select and edit multiple lines at once. 

Just hold the alt key and drag your mouse down, this creates a cursor for editing multiple lines at once.

And that's not all, you can also select different positions with it, just hold alt pressed and position the cursor with left click. Just press Escape or stop pressing alt and click left to leave the mode again.

This is just one of 100s of useful PhpStorm shortcuts, stay tuned for more!
