Sublime like Multiple Cursors in HTML5

Do you have an idea how to get the Sublime or Cloud 9 like Multiple Cursors functionality to the browser?

I want multiple cursors in a textarea, maybe in multiple text areas. Should be possible with HTML5, but didn't find anything in the web!

Thank you!

As barlop said ace editor has multiple cursors, if you want to take a look to its magic you could maybe take a look to multi_select.js at aces github repo.

In order to give you a little idea on how to do it, there's no textarea except under the main cursor. Ace breaks down text into multiple divs with the appeareance of a big textarea. When you place multiple cursors, ace copies the text entered in the main cursor to the other spans or divs.
