I am trying to replicate the "Edit each line in selection" behavior that disappeared with the arrival of TM2. So, following the blog post at http://blog.macromates.com/2011/multiple-carets/, I place my cursor at the first line of a selection that I want to edit, and press shift-option-down. However, rather than selecting an additional line with every keystroke, it appears to jump arbitrarily between selecting single and multiple additional lines.
Here's a short video screen capture of the behavior: http://cl.ly/2q1x38141S1H3w0A0k2i
Thanks in advance for any help. cf
Try selecting the lines that you want, and then hit alt *once*, then Cmd+(right arrow).

You want just “shift down” for extending one line down.
The behavior of “shift option down” is explained here: http://manual.macromates.com/en/working_with_text#column_movement_typing and is quite handy when creating column selections.
