Adds a cursor on the previous/next line

Hi there,

Yes, but it works a bit differently.

There are separate actions for adding cursor above/below current line .. but they do not have default shortcuts -- "Settings/Preferences | Keymap" and look for "Clone Caret Above/Below" actions.

Here on Windows you can Alt+Click and specify exact location of another caret. If you use Ctrl+Ctrl+Up/Down (Ctrl press and release; then quickly press Ctrl again and hold it pressed while using Arrow Up/Down keys) you can add carets on lines above or below. Alt+Mouse selection works as well (column selection mode) etc.
