Multiple cursor keybindings in Micro differ from most popular text editors

[p-e-w]

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code, and Atom all bind the "spawn multiple cursors" action to Ctrl/Cmd+D by default. Micro currently defaults to Alt+N. I think there is a strong case for aligning with the industry standard here, especially since Micro already uses the same bindings as those editors for most other actions.

I noticed there is kind of a conflict. At least some editors use Ctrl+D to duplicate the current line. Not surprisingly, these editors usually don't support multiple cursors, so they can use the shortcut for something else. Duplicating lines is what most of them chose to do with this shortcut. It looks like Micro is using the shortcut for people who expect it working.

But I agree - I rarely, if ever, need to duplicate a line. I use multiple cursors constantly.
