User reviews
This extension is part of my "can't live without it" collection.
I spent a lot of time writing and editing texts.
And multi-cursor from monaco is an absolute timesaver for doing text manipulation.
On browser without this extension, I would copy-paste the text to VSCode, edit the text, and paste it back.
With this extension, no more copy-paste shenanigans, just edit directly in the browser.
