I have watched this video in 2012 and it changed my life. While I have since moved on to an other editor with the same features, I'm eternally grateful!

That *is* a very powerful example, thanks for adding it. It's one that warrants extra explanation to show that cursors don't just mirror one another at different fixed offsets in the document, but act just as you'd expect a single cursor to act, maintaining regard for the specific context and moving, copying, pasting etc. appropriately.

FTP sync is a little tricky, but works for me. You can't work directly off the remote folder, but you can map a local copy of the folder to a remote one, and it just syncs.
Here's what you need (Package control and SFTP):
Install Package Control:
Restart Sublime Text 2
Press ctrl+shift+p (Windows, Linux) or cmd+shift+p (OS X)
Type: install package, press enter
Wait for repository
When the repository popup opens up, type SFTP.
Install SFTP

[batukhan]

then go File->Open Folder.
Right click on the folder in the sidebar, then SFTP->Map to remote.
Fill out FTP information, and save (i put "upload_on_save":true)
Now you have a synced folder!

on 4:00
instead of using cmd+c/v
you can use cmd+shift+d or windows ctrl+shift+d /// = line duplication

some sweet shortcuts with multi-cursor not mentioned in the video are ⌘U (undo the last ⌘D); ⌘K then D (skips last selected and goes to next selection); ⌃⇧↑ and ⌃⇧↓ add cursors up and down respectively;⌘-Click adds a cursor wherever you click

CTRL SHIFT G (to select everything instead of repeating CTRL D) doesn't work in sublime text 3 PC.

4:20, shift + cmd + L. What is the windows shortcut for that please?

Where can I get the Multiple Cursors plugin?

[aaronjones]

It took you over a minute to get to the point with multiple cursors.  And only show the actual demo over 2 min in.  Why not just do the demo right away?  No one needs a primer on inefficiency.

complicated. in vi(m) it is just :%s/$path/$p/, though your brain have to spent some CPU ticks to generate a regexp...
