Bonus: Install the “Multiple Cursor Case Preserve” extension for Visual Studio Code. It ensures that when you’re editing text with multiple cursors, the case formatting—such as camelCase, UPPERCASE, or lowercase—is preserved. This is particularly useful when you need to rename variables or terms consistently without disrupting their original casing. ⌃
When editing a reminder (e.g., you’ve clicked into it to change the text), Cmd + Enter will end editing — it finalizes your changes and exits the editing mode (kind of feels like “selecting” or saving the text). ⌃
When not editing (e.g., you’re just navigating or viewing reminders), Cmd + Enter will select all text and enter the editing mode. ⌃
