'Move multiple-choice cursors back and forth on multiple lines in Notepad++

In notepad++, when I do a multiple choice, for example "characters" string, I want to move the cursor back and forth to modify the content on multiple lines. However, the cursor only focuses on the last selection, e.g. "characters" string at Line 6.

enter image description here

Does anyone know how to do this action by the same way Sublime Text can do ?

Or Is any notepad++ plugin able to do this action ?

  • In Settings - Preferences - Edititing enable "Mutli-Editing Settings".
  • Then Ctrl + Mouse click the places where you need your cursors. Do not select the whole words.
  • After you placed your cursors you can move them back and forth, write text, or delete characters. Even Ctrl+Z is working.

At least you can go back and forward word by word once. I dont know multiple words at a time.

Backward: CTRL+Left arrow. Forward: CTRL+Right arrow.
