In PyCharm, as I have to edit multiple lines at once, I've been trying to add carets below the current caret using a keyboard. As per this page:
Press Ctrl twice, and then without releasing it, press up or down arrow keys.
However, when I do that, the text just gets scrolled. The cursor/caret is not moving at all.
The afore-mentioned page, also says:
To add carets exactly above or below the current caret position using virtual spaces, press Alt+Shift+Up / Alt+Shift+Down.
I even tried that but in this case, the cursor moves to somewhat random places in the file.
Note that I can insert carets above or below the current caret using a mouse (Alt+Shift + mouse-click + dragging the mouse). However, I want to do that using the keyboard only... just like in VSCode, it's quite straightforward:
to add Cursor Above: Shift + Alt + UpArrow
to add Cursor Below: Shift + Alt + DownArrow
