Multiple cursors feature is equivalent of macros with live feedback

  Simple but effective quick substitute for neovim

For a while now, I have been seeing discussions about the multiple cursors feature only in the context of replacing words. Especially when people mention multiple cursors in 500 bytes of Vimscript! blogpost and there is even a cool-substitute plugin (nice work btw.) in which readme we can read: "Can easily replace multiple-cursors". I don't know how all people work. The word substitution may be the primary and most common feature of MC, but it is also the least useful one. MC shines when it comes to writing small macros (for big things, I still prefer the real vim macros). I have real-time visual feedback - no more fixing or rerecording broken macros - and I can even use autocompletion during it.

FWIW, true multiple cursors (and other stuff) I actually use mostly https://github.com/martanne/vis (more than actual neovim), but it is for truly hardened among us, not if you just dream about your replacement of VS Studio.

  Easily create previewable commands in Neovim.

Soon, you'll be able to preview any command such as the norm command and macros using a plugin I am working on! Still some work to do to improve the highlighting logic but it's already usable. If you're interested, check it out here: live-command.nvim. Stay tuned for a Reddit post!

Ah, I see. I guess I've been thinking about this, which also builds on that new command preview protocol, but only considers :normal.
