Use case or problem

Right now, the only way to enable multi cursor is to use the mouse. In other IDEs, you can assign a hotkey to enable the multi-cursor on the selected lines.

Proposed solution

  • Add Enable Multi Cursor or some IDEs (Jetbrains) call it column mode
  • Add the ability to assign a hot key to turn on multi cursor for the highlighted lines

Current workaround

We have to use the keyboard + mouse to enable multicursor instead of just using the keyboard

The https://github.com/SkepticMystic/advanced-cursors plugin is also another way to enable multi cursors on selected text, but it only does it if it matches patterns.
