Our script editor maintainer, Paul Batty ( Paulb23 ), implemented initial support for multi-caret editing in TextEdit, which is therefore usable in the GDScript and shader editors, as well as any other multi-line text field in the editor. See this demonstration made by MewPurPur : Improved ColorPicker UX ( GH-62910 ).
