I have a text file with 100's of news articles. I need to Select All > Take cursor to the beginning of each line and have the 'multiple cursors' open so I can add some data.
Since the new articles do not have the same begging character, I can not use CTRL+F3.
Is there a way to [CTRL] + [A] (Select All) then > Go to the begging of each line with 'multiple cursors' open ?

A common way to add more cursors is with Shift+Alt+Down or Shift+Alt+Up that insert cursors below or above. Note: Your graphics card driver (for example NVIDIA) might overwrite these default shortcuts. Ctrl+D selects the word at the cursor, or the next occurrence of the current selection.
Ctrl + D in SublimeText is "Quick Add Next." This appears to be equivalent to Ctrl + B in Brackets, which is "Add next match to Selection" on the Find menu.
1 Answer. Show activity on this post. If you have your mouse caret (blinking pipe | ) on a word and you press ctrl-d (Windows) or cmd-d (Mac) you can select the current word & if you press ctrl-d afterwards that it will select other repeat occurences of your selection.
Place your cursor somewhere in or next to the word you wish to select. Press Ctrl+D (Windows or Linux) or Command+D (Mac OS X) to highlight the entire word. Press Ctrl+D (Windows or Linux) or Command+D (Mac OS X) to select the next instance of the word.
You should select all with ctrl+A.
Then split the selection into one selection per line with ctrl+shift+L.
Then press the left arrow key.
Now you should be able to type data at the beginning of each line.
