While I agree with most of this...

Who has trouble with ":x"? It's no more keystrokes than any other editor uses. I guess if you are in insert mode it's `esc :x`. I suppose you could bind a single keystroke in normal mode, but it's not that big a deal.

Multicursor would be fantastic. Macro goes pretty far to supporting what you do with multi cursor but falls a little short.

As an ex-Sublime and ex-VSCode user, I realized that macros and Visual Block mode covers all my use cases for multicursor functionality.
