To edit multiple instances of text within different sections of a document, you can use multi-cursor editing. This allows multiple cursors to be placed in different spots so text can be added, modified, or deleted.

its the name of Source Editor, for reference purpose I taken the answer from whats-new-in-xcode10 and Sample link 1 and Sample link 2

The Xcode 10 Source Editor now supports multi-cursor editing allowing you to quickly edit multiple ranges of code at once.

  • shift + control + click
  • shift + control +
  • shift + control +
  • option + drag

With a source control-enabled project the source editor displays changes made by a developer in the gutter and shows changes made by other developers that haven’t yet been pulled into the project
