I want to add multiple cursor feature to my wxpython application. I'm using StyledTextCtrl as my text control. I already make it look like multiple cursor, see below image. However, when I type text, the first two cursor just disappeared and the text were inserted into the last cursor position. Can anyone help me on this please? I've attached my code.

Update:
What I want to implement is a multi-cursor editing feature, which exists in many popular editors. See below image:
