This has been reported in other widgets before, notably CodeMax. It doesn't strike me as a great feature but if someone wants to implement it as an option then it can probably go in. The reason it could cause trouble is that currently there is exactly one caret position in Scintilla even for rectangular selections and applications may depend on that behaviour. Once you have multiple carets then only allowing in one block is a bit restrictive: you could implement global replace by having a global search that highlights with a caret each occurrence of the search string: typing would replace all the matches.
