Maybe, I'm missing something, but command like: mcv, mcr, mci( don't seem to work.

In the idea.log I don't see anything

ms/print work like expected

@elbowz Hi, yes I supported only some commands: /, f, t, w, W, b, B, e, E How would you expect mcv, mcr and mci to work?

How would you expect mcv, mcr and mci to work?

• mcv: add a caret on the current position (the same behavior Intellij does)
• mcr: not clear the difference between real and virtual, but on my IDE it simply "replace" the character (vim behaviour)
• mci(: in an example string like this is (ex|ample) string with '|' represent the current caret I expect to have: this is (|example|) string, just two carets, one after '(' and

I hope to be clear

thanks!

The README is not very clear. I too don't know how to properly use mcv, mcr and mci. More examples would be very useful. ms/print works as expected but what is a virtual and a real caret?

@torbenf yes, I should update the readme, and it looks like some commands are broken in the new versions of the IDE.
I implemented a virtual caret to allow adding multiple carets manually in vim: you create virtual carets and then use mcr to make them real (regular) carets. However, I'm not sure if this feature is useful now, since the IDE itself allows adding a caret with the keyboard.

also pressing escape in the latest version does not remove the created cursors. i have to manually click with the mouse somewhere to get rid of them.

For me the most important commands not working are mc^ nor mc$. Also when I press backspace while entering search term in mc/, the inputed text does not get deleted.

Other than that I love the idea of this plugin! It's like a superpower in certain cases.

@elbowz @kuchejak @reinierbutot check update

@dankinsoid I have tried mc^ and mc$ in the version 1.3.2 but it still does not work for me.
