Multiple cursors

(Possibly related to #47 )

Inspired by spreading and multiple cursors in text editors I once made an UI in vvvv where I had 10 groups of UI-elements equally spaced and added a feature that would add multiple mourse cursors when pressing some keyboard keys, one for 10x cursors with the vertical spacing of the ui element groups between them and one for every other group (5x) since in my app it made sense to edit them in that way.

Could be hard to generalise but sure made editing a lot of values a lot less tedious.

This is probably not in the scope of Elementa but more of something you would implement in your app, bringing it up here just in case it can lead to some interesting use cases..

It might be interesting to consider how Elementa can support such usage by for example querying for similar elements positions, if there's a way to make multiple cursors easier to implement for repeated elements.
