Beginning in Notepad++ 8.6.1 or 8.6, hitting space while in a multi-selection or column selection is supposed to enter a space after each caret and stay in multi-selection mode. Thus, I could column select the start of four lines and write foo bar four times in a row.
With the Automatically decode entities or Automatically decode Unicode characters setting turned on, hitting space in multi-selection mode exits the multi-selection.
I imagine that having those settings work for multiple selections simultaneously could get pretty slow, so I think a reasonable resolution to this issue would be to simply suppress those features while the user has multiple selections.
