A Vim plugin that brings Sublime Text-style multiple selections and virtual cursors to Vim, allowing simultaneous editing at multiple match locations. It is now deprecated in favor of vim-visual-multi.

Use cases

  • edit multiple occurrences of a word at once in vim
  • rename a variable across several lines quickly
  • add a cursor to each line of a visual selection
  • refactor code with simultaneous multi-cursor edits
  • select all matches of a regex and edit them together

When to choose

  • you are stuck on an old Vim setup that already uses this plugin
  • you need the original Sublime-style multi-cursor workflow in Vim 7.4+

When to avoid

  • starting a new setup - use mg979/vim-visual-multi instead
  • you need ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, or Neovim-first compatibility
  • you rely on actively supported plugins in your config
