mini.cursors: minimal multicursors like helix

Description

I know nvim has macros, but a minimal multi-cursors feature would be great just like helix. Use C to create a cursor, and Use 'S' to toggle select cursor mode, when in select cursor mode, only the currently selected cursor is active and can be operated. Use 'D' to delete a cursor.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, I have a vague idea to work on this eventually. There are some rumors that multicursors might be coming to Neovim core, so I'll wait a bit on this one.

That's great. I think multi-cursor is a middle ground between macros/regular expressions/:g and text objects.

Oh my goodness this would be awesome!!

@echasnovski What's your source for the rumors? There was an issue about this some time ago but iirc it was closed and locked. Has there been discussion more recently?

Discussions among core team members in public Matrix room. I now hope they were not jokes 😅

This issue has been discussed for ten years, hopefully mini can finally end this debate.

This has been planned since version 0.5, ten years have already passed, and now it has been postponed again to version 0.12. I don't think we should have any expectations of the official side.

If it is postponed, then there is a good reason for it. I am afraid, 'mini.cursors' is not top priority right now.

It's too bad, what are your current work focuses on what aspects?

On polishing 'mini.icons' and getting through planned modules.
