Linking to that plugin means you haven't used it. Use an IDE that supports this well, not an incredibly buggy hack to get basic editing features.

- yakshaving_jgt 8y agoYou don't need a plugin to get multiple cursors in Vim. Go into visual block mode, press j a few times to select more lines, and hit I to go into insert mode. When you finish the insertion, you'll see the same insertion has been performed across all the selected lines. You are clearly trolling, and/or you have far less knowledge of vim than you think you have. You are only making yourself look bad here.

- stevebmark 8y agoThat's much more limited than multiple cursors. Have you used that feature in other editors?
- yakshaving_jgt 8y agoIt is more limited, yes. It is only useful in rather trivial cases. For everything else, there’s macros. Macros are unarguably far more powerful and useful than multiple cursors. Visual block mode is constrained by absolute cursor position. Multiple cursors is constrained by relative cursor position. Macros have no constraints whatsoever, and can even be recursive.
