Before I start with my feature wish, I'd like to state that PSPad is one of the
best text editors I know and that I just donated 15€ just because of that.
Here's my question: will PSPad ever learn a "multi-line" edit like NotePad++
has?
Being a coder, I very often paste some text (eg. XML) into NotePad++, then
Alt-Select all lines and add a 'sb.WriteLine("' in front of every row at once,
like so:
Multi-line editing in NPP (viz https://vimeo.com/275778888 )
This is the one big feature I am missing in PSPad (apart from the possibility to
collapse blocks of code).

Hi,
I think, this feature is currently not supported in the editor component used in
PSPad, maybe some enhancements are possible if/when this is replaced with
another library.
However, you can already use
Edit: Lines manipulation: Insert text into lines
(or using Alt+I by default)
It is not as straightforward like the virtual multiline cursor with simultaneous
writing, event with code completition, however, there are some more complex
possibilities with this dialog in PSPad.
You can preselect the lines for text insertion, a given text or sequential
numbering can be inserted.
You can insert at the begining and end of lines at once, or at the given
character position. (a number indicating the caret position is shown in the
dialog, after clicking on it, this value is set for the column of the
insertion.
hth,
