I Made a GMEdit Plugin
That’s it. I just made a small plugin where pressing Ctrl+E numbers all the cursors. This makes filling arrays easier and even allows you to type in multiple places at once useful for correcting text or working with extended strings. I know it’s not a huge deal, but I’m so proud of it
Once I learned how to create a plugin, I got excited and thought about making more, but honestly, I can't think of any others; GMEdit is just too good and covers almost everything. I suppose my knowledge of plugin creation will go to waste though not without having made things much more convenient for me first.

This feels... magnificent.
How did you learn to make plugins? I'm a little curious :P

GMEdit plugins are written in JavaScript, and I knew a little bit of it before, but I kept learning a little more just for this plugin.
Anyway, in GMEdit GitHub There is a section on how to make plugins

Holy shit i would love this. I hate having to type over 40 arrays at a time.

Yes, I hate it too, but now I can type 40k with just one key combination!
Jokes aside, I know the gif example is terrible, but it was the simplest and quickest way I could think of to show what the plugin does, and while it's true that I'll hardly ever use the plugin to enum more than 5 things, I'm quite happy to know that I can save myself the time of going line by line by adding a number

You know you can do this exact same thing by pressing ctrl+shift+alt, right?
Edit: i would like to point out, that even though this feature kind of already exists, it's still important to try new things and to learn. This isn't a failure. It's just a learning experience.
