On Geany you can create by using Alt+Shift+Mouse (Windows) or Ctrl-Shift-Mouse (*x) a multiline cursor or an rectange selection, where you can work on many lines at the same time. This is only working for lines 'in row' so you cannot choose line 9 and lines 12-16 and lines 23-44 to be edited at the same time.

I can confirm the answer from kelgwiin for sublime text.

Depending on your platform you could also do the following in sublime text:

Linux: Hold shift and the right mouse button, then move the mouse up or down to make a column selection.

Windows + OS X: Simply hold down the mousewheel and move your mouse up and and down to select the columns.

Hope this helps!

For that you must select the n lines of the code and press the key tab. If you want remove the tab spaces should select the text and press shift+tab.

I was programming in my job and I accidentally discovered this in the IDE eclipse. I test the same process in the Sublime Text and Geany and it works too.

Y suposse and pressume that works for the most of text editor
