  • Would you be interested in multicursor support for Neovim?

    By the way this is probably my favorite nvim plugin simply because it solves part of this problem https://github.com/terryma/vim-multiple-cursors. However it doesnt help with the more complex examples, like the one I mentioned above.

    I also never used multi-cursor feature anywhere, but I stumbled upon a plugin that implemented the feature for VIM: https://github.com/terryma/vim-multiple-cursors . I do not know how useful and easy-to-use it is but it has some good examples in its README.

    There's a brilliant plugin that emulates sublime's way of doing it. https://github.com/terryma/vim-multiple-cursors There's probably a way to do it using vim's default behaivour but this is easy and it works well for me.
