Hmm I see. I was thinking more of the situation where the lines are not 
aligned (maybe someone else's code), and you want to add something to 
all of them once. If you need to edit them multiple times then aligning 
is better.

Hmm that's good on Scite, most of the editors I had tried before Sublime 
didn't have this feature...
