All I want is nano with VSCode keybindings for multiple cursors. Does is exist or do I also have to write my own?

Micro is excellent. I love it. Been using it for years and can't go back to vim.

- Modern keybindings and shortcuts

- mouse support, scrolling support

- copy/paste from the clipboard

- syntax highlighting

- supports extensions

All out of the box. Just wish the community extensions were more numerous but haven't written any myself and won't complain.

I've been using micro a lot recently and it's pretty impressive. I really have no complaints.

You can try Kakoune or Helix.
