Sequential Cursor

Edit each multi-cursor position one by one, without jumping around manually.

How it works

1. Set up multiple cursors/selections normally in VS Code (Alt+Click, Ctrl+D, etc.)
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+S (Mac: Cmd+Alt+S) to enter Sequential Edit mode
3. The first selection is focused — edit it however you want
4. Press Tab to move to the next position
5. Use Alt+↑ / Alt+↓ to jump freely between cursors
6. Press Escape to cancel and restore all original selections

Keyboard shortcuts

Tab, Shift+Tab and Alt+↑↓ only have their special meaning while sequential mode is active.

Visual feedback

• The active position is highlighted with a colored border
• All other positions are dimmed so you know they're waiting
• The status bar shows your current progress and available shortcuts

Example use case

You have variables with similar names and want to rename each one differently:

const firstName = ...
const lastName  = ...
const userName  = ...

Select first, last, user with Ctrl+D, activate Sequential Cursor, and type each replacement one by one — no clicking around.
