Is there a way to select multiple non-adjoining (totally separate) texts in VS? I can do it in MS Word by selecting the texts separately by holding the Ctrl button, like this:
My version is 11.
Edit: I'm not talking about Alt+Select
block selection. Also I would love to see if there exist a technique in Notepad++.

Multi cursor edit is natively supported in Visual Studio starting from version 2017 Update 8. The following is an extract of the documentation:
- Ctrl + Alt + click : Add a secondary caret
- Ctrl + Alt + double-click : Add a secondary word selection
- Ctrl + Alt + click + drag : Add a secondary selection
- Shift + Alt + . : Add the next matching text as a selection
- Shift + Alt + ; : Add all matching text as selections
- Shift + Alt + , : Remove last selected occurrence
- Shift + Alt + / : Skip next matching occurrence
- Alt + click : Add a box selection
- Esc or click : Clear all selections
Some of those commands are also available in the Edit
menu:
