A multiple cursors plugin for Vim and Neovim, analogous to visual-block but driven mostly from normal mode. It supports cursor/extend modes, regex patterns, macros at cursors, alignment, and transposition of selections.

Use cases

• edit multiple occurrences of a word at once in vim
• create vertical cursors to edit columns
• run macros or normal commands at multiple cursor locations
• rename a variable across a file without a global replace
• select and edit text inside brackets or quotes at several places

When to choose

• you use Vim or Neovim and want Sublime/VS Code-style multi-cursor editing
• you need cursor and extend modes with most normal/visual commands working
• you want regex-based pattern selection and cursor alignment

When to avoid

• you prefer native vim visual-block and :substitute workflows
• you use an editor other than Vim/Neovim
• you need a GUI text editor with built-in multi-cursor support
