Use case or problem
I use the multiple cursors feature extensively in all of my text editors. The introduction of hotkeys to add a cursor above or below was a huge improvement from having to manually click on each line, but it has some issues in its current form.
Most of the time, I need to edit multiple adjacent lines, not blocks.
When creating new lines or editing list where each element fit in a single line, the shortcuts work well. But when working within a paragraph or a list with long elements, the cursor is always added at the start of the next or previous block, instead of the next or previous line.
This can be useful, especially for lists, but it is not really the expected behaviour coming from other software like Kate or VSCode.
Proposed solution
Add separate hotkeys for add cursor above (line), add cursor below (line), add cursor above (block) and add cursor below (block)
Current workaround
One can still use alt + click to manually select lines above or below, but it defeats the point of having hotkeys for this.
