Like Sublime Text, it would be nice to select multiple areas with multi-cursor using the center mouse button click and drag.
On VSCode, you can select one are with multi-cursor with CMD + Center mouse click and drag, with all lines starting from the same column. But if you try to select another area with the same method, you loose the previous one. Sublime Text allow to select multi-cursor areas in different position by keeping CTRL pressed and do multiple center mouse click and drag.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Press CTRL or ALT (depending on user settings) and click with center mouse button and drag
  2. Release mouse button
  3. Keep CTRL/ALt pressed or press it again and try to select another area with center mouse button + drag
  4. Previous selection is lost

Expected behavior
Keep previous selection and be able to select multiple areas with multi-cursor.
