There is a multiple cursors plugin for vim that I use; it's a bit clunky at times, but it does the job. How is kakoune's multiple cursors support better than that? How cool is it, so to speak? Btw the reason I haven't tried kakoune yet is that the command is `kak`, which means 'shit' in my native language, Dutch.

I haven't used the vim plugin but if vim commands work on each selection that probably gets you half way. Kakoune additionally provides 's' and 'S' commands to sub select down from your selection iteratively. you might select all words, then select the _ in each word, delete the character and hit ~ to capitalize the next character to convert a selection of words in snake_case to camelCase. I think it's cool. >Btw the reason I haven't tried kakoune yet is that the command is `kak`, which means 'shit' in my native language, Dutch. I've actually heard this either on a forum, mailing list or a github issue at least once, lol. It's unfortunate.

It's unfortunate. I think if someone really wants to use Kakoune they could do the same thing that I do with neovim, which is to make vim be an alias for the editor you actually want to use.

Speaking of unfortunate naming: 'bash' is pronounced exactly like the Norwegian word 'bæsj', which also means shit/poop. This has been the cause of some hilarious situations where non-technical people have overheard a nerdy conversation
