Can I choose multiline mode for editor in TEdit, grids and so on?
Or, at least, can I display multiline content for these kinds of
controls?

Not with TEdit, but if you use TMemo and set its heigth to Edit's
default, you will achieve exactly this.

Actually, that's just what TMemo is -- nothing else but multiline
edit.

So the answer to your question is yes, as TMemo is "these kinds of
controls" -- it's a TCustomEdit's descendent.

For grid... you can set any control to be cell editor. The default is
some kind of TEdit, but you can use TMemo. To understand how to use a
control as cell editor, open example project "gridcelleditor", which
you will find in <your lazarus
folder>\examples\gridexamples\gridcelleditor. This is very simple
application which shows how to use ComboBox as cell editor for third
column of string grid.

I was not aware of SingleLine property of Text style. So the input
controls...
