Vim Multiple Cursors

This is a Vim plugin that adds simultaneous multi-selection and parallel editing capabilities to the editor. It functions as a multi-cursor tool and regex-based batch editor, allowing users to perform the same editing action across multiple locations in a buffer at once.

The extension enables the placement of virtual cursors across a document using regular expressions or by identifying all occurrences of a word. It also allows for the generation of cursors on every line within a visual selection to facilitate multi-line block editing.

The tool supports synchronized character insertion and parallel text modifications, including edits and deletions across all active cursors. It includes a configuration system for keyboard shortcuts and hook-based mechanisms to manage plugin conflicts during active sessions.
