## What it is
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
