Multi-cursor colors barely visible
When using multi-cursors via ctrl+d to change multiple occurrences at once, you can barely tell which words are already selected and which aren't. You have to wait for the caret to flash because the color doesn't give it away. In all these images, the upper 3 “countTriplets” are selected:
