    mawww's experiment for a better code editor

  • For anyone who's interested in state of the art development in the multiple-selections world, I highly recommend trying Kakoune. It's a Vim-like editor, so it may be foreign for most Emacs users, but what differs it from Vim is that it's built around the idea that you can operate on selections, selections selections, selections selections selections, and so on.

  • mc-extras.el

    Extra functions for multiple-cursors mode

  • There's another project, though: https://github.com/knu/mc-extras.el This project has some (IMO essential) features, that for some reason didn't make it into the multiple cursors original package, like mc/remove-duplicated-cursors which merges cursors standing on each other into a single cursor, to avoid multiple cursors inserting into the same place several times, which happens a lot to me, but Kakoune does it by default, so it never happens to me there.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
