## What it is
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
