Backscape in multicursor mode isn't multicursor at all

[X-Ryl669]

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

Start a multicursor on multiple line (Alt + Shift and then Down multiple time to select numerous line) Move the cursor to the right and hit Backspace key (above the Return key). Only the last cursor will delete the previous rune, not all of them.

Instead, if you move the cursor left and hit "Delete", all multicursors will delete the next rune.

I think it should respect the multicursor here.

I'm not reproducing this. Backspace deletes the previous rune at all cursors, not just one. Could you describe your steps more precisely?

Hmm, I've repeated exactly the same steps as in your video, with exactly the same micro version (2.0.13, commit 68d88b57) but Backspace deletes character at the end of all 3 lines for me, not just the last one like in your video.

Maybe you have some plugins that somehow alter the default behavior, or maybe some settings enabled that trigger some bug in micro which is not observed with the default settings.

Could try with a clean config directory (e.g. via micro -config-dir / or something like that)?

Here's my settings.json

{
    "colorscheme": "monokai",
    "filemanager.openontab": true,
    "ignorecase": false,
    "lsp.autocompleteDetails": true,
    "lsp.formatOnSave": false,
    "rmtrailingws": true,
    "scrollbar": true,
    "tabreverse": false,
    "tabstospaces": true
}

And the bindings.json

{
    "Alt-!": "NextSplit",
    "Alt-,": "PreviousTab",
    "Alt-/": "lua:comment.comment",
    "Alt-:": "PreviousSplit",
    "Alt-;": "NextTab",

    "Ctrl-l": "AddTab,command:term bash",
    "Ctrl-q": "QuitAll",
    "Ctrl-r": "ToggleRuler",
    "Ctrl-t": "AddTab",
    "Ctrl-u": "ToggleMacro",
    "Ctrl-v": "Paste",
    "Ctrl-w": "Quit",
    "Ctrl-x": "Cut",
    "Ctrl-y": "Redo",
    "Ctrl-z": "Undo",
    "CtrlEnd": "CursorEnd",
    "CtrlHome": "CursorStart",
    "CtrlPageDown": "NextTab",
    "CtrlPageUp": "PreviousTab",
    "CtrlSpace": "command:lspcompletion",
    "CtrlUnderscore": "lua:comment.comment",
    "Delete": "Delete",
    "End": "EndOfLine",
    "F3": "FindNext",
    "Home": "StartOfText",
    "Insert": "ToggleOverwriteMode",
    "PageDown": "CursorPageDown",
    "PageUp": "CursorPageUp",
    "Shift-F3": "FindPrevious",
    "Shift-F4": "lua:bounce.gotoStoredLoc"
}

I only have "bounce", "detectindent", "filemanager", "lsp" as plugins.

With an empty config dir, I don't see this behavior either.

@X-Ryl669 I'm unable to reproduce the issue even with your settings and set of plugins. Could you paste the outputs of these two commands?

micro -version
micro -plugin list

Neither am I.
