            Bug ID: 371801
           Summary: Multiple text selection, multiple cursors
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: part
          Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: kungfoo...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Being able to have multiple cursors via ctrl+click, and multiple selections by
ctrl+drag.

Kate user for 14 years. When I found out this feature in Atom I thought it was
useless. After using it for less than 2 years, now I can't do without. Sublime
Text is another popular editor with this feature.

When pasting multiple selections, it should paste one in each selection if the
number of selections match the clipboard; otherwise paste all joined as lines
in all cursors.

Random gifs of the feature:

(this is codepen but it works the same)

(this last one is another editor I don't know, it uses "ctrl+D" but I would
very happy by just ctrl+clicking each word then ctrl+left arrow to jump to the
beginning of each word)
