Summary: usability improvements for multicursor editing
Product: frameworks-ktexteditor
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: multicursor

Target Milestone: ---
Hi,
I'd like to suggest two usability improvements for multicursor editing.
1) The shortcut CTRL-SHIFT-B works fine for toggling the block selection mode,
but spanning up multiple cursors is arguably always a one time thing and
editors like intellij idea toggle the mode _as long as_ the ALT key is pressed
and toggles it back as soon as the key is released. The cursors stay as spanned
up and you can edit multiple lines until you hit ESC, when the ("secondary")
cursors disappear and only the first/primary one is active. I prefer the
ALT-pressed thing much more over hitting a three keys shortcut twice.
2) After selecting an "empty" block over multiple lines I can add text by
typing and I can delete text by pressing backspace. But if I want to delete
words backwards by hitting CTRL-Backspace only the word in the first line gets
deleted. This seems like a bug to me.
