A Neovim plugin written in Lua that adds true multiple cursor editing with support for normal, insert, replace, visual, and select modes. It includes undo/redo, per-cursor registers, regex-based cursor matching, and a Cursor API for extension.

Use cases

• edit multiple lines at once in neovim
• add cursors above and below the current line
• select next match of a word with multiple cursors
• place cursors with ctrl+left click
• align and transpose multiple selections
• rename repeated tokens simultaneously in vim

When to choose

• you use Neovim and want Sublime/VS Code style multi-cursor editing
• you need cursors that work with most plugins, remaps, snippets, and autocompletion
• you want an extensible Cursor API and keymap layers for multi-cursor workflows

When to avoid

• you use vanilla Vim or another editor rather than Neovim
• you only need simple search-and-replace, which vim's :s already handles
• you prefer built-in vim features like visual block mode over a plugin
