Simultaneously edit in more than one location in the editor
If you've ever ran into a case where you wanted to quickly change variable names or multiple loop conditions - you can use Multi-Edit to set virtual carets that all behave the same.
You can check an installable extension on the gallery for Visual Studio 2012.
ALT Click on different locations in your code to set multiple carets, and then type as you normally would.
