Mutiple cursors

[nblackburn]

Support for multiple cursors is a must in modern day editors.

Holding Ctrl and clicking would create more cursors which could be controlled as a single cursor would.

It would be a little tricky to do this for 1.0 fully, there's quite a few basic assumptions in the code that expect 1 cursor...

However, now I am thinking an easy way to implement this would be to add metadata about "additional cursors". So, for 1.0, I imagine you will have 1 cursor, and it's your main one (for instance, scrolling follows that one), but you can have a notion of added cursors that repeat what the main one is doing but scrolling does not follow them.

Of course, we can have these added cursors all controllable from the JS plugin system. So your plugins can make and destroy extra cursors.

One problem is, holding Ctrl while clicking already does something (jump-to-file, eventually it will do jump-to-symbol-definition). Any ideas for an alternative?

Thanks, I like this idea a lot!
