two carrets in Intellij

Answered

Hello,

 

can someone tell me if it is possible to get two carets two Code with in intelliJ?

I know theres the possibility  to multiselect with two carets, but I would like to get two independent carets that I can move with different keys, so im able to stay with the one caret at the point thtat im currently coding at and use the other to move through code. In the best case scenario I would like to be able to have one caret that I move with the normal arrow keys and the second that I move with the arrow keys plus one additional key.

 

Thank you for youre answers

Hi,

No way to do it in a single editor, but if you split your screen into two or more editors and open the same or a different file side by side, your caret in each editor will be placed independently, and you will be able to quickly switch between particular places in the code using CTRL+TAB.
