In human–computer interaction, simultaneous editing is an text editing technique allowing a single user to make multiple simultaneous edits in a multiple selection at once through direct manipulation. Multiple selections and cursors are typically created by using a keyboard shortcut to select repeated instances of the same text or text fragments surrounded by the same delimiters, by using a search feature to select all instances of a search term, by selecting the same column in multiple lines, or by selecting text or cursor positions with a mouse. The Lapis experimental web browser and text editor is also able to infer selections based on concept learning from positive and negative examples given by the user during a process known as selection guessing. Tools for data wrangling (mass reformatting) also sometimes include commands for simultaneous editing of all data in a column or category.",
