I live and die on the add cursor alt + lecftclick bind, but on debian linux it gets overrided by the move window command. Anyway to change this? I've only found ways to change the keyboard shortcut keybinds, but not any shortcuts binded to the mouse

Hi @jediweirdo. This can be changed to Ctrl+left-click via Arduino IDE's advanced settings. I'll provide instructions for doing that:

  1. Press the Ctrl+Shift+P keyboard shortcut (Command+Shift+P for macOS users) to open the "Command Palette".
    A menu will appear on the editor toolbar:

  2. Select the "Preferences: Open Settings (UI)" command from the menu.
    ⓘ You can scroll down through the list of commands to find it or type the name in the field.
    A "Preferences" tab will open in the Arduino IDE main panel.
  3. Type editor.multiCursorModifier in the "Search Settings" field of the "Preferences" tab.
  4. Select "ctrlCmd" from the menu under the "Editor: Multi Cursor Modifier" setting.
  5. Close the Preferences tab by clicking its X icon.

Why thank you good sir; thanks to your instructions, I can now go back to multi-line cursoring like the addict I am :+1:
