Don't be afraid tho, I've been using it since 2011 with ;; great success and much merriment. ;; ## Basic usage ;; Start out with: ;; (require 'multiple-cursors) ;; Then you have to set up your keybindings - multiple-cursors doesn't presume to ;; know how you'd like them laid out. Here are some examples: ;; When you have an active region that spans multiple lines, the following will ;; add a cursor to each line: ;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-c C-S-c") 'mc/edit-lines) ;; When you want to add multiple cursors not based on continuous lines, but based on ;; keywords in the buffer, use: ;; (global-set-key (kbd "C->") 'mc/mark-next-like-this) ;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-<") 'mc/mark-previous-like-this) ;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-<") 'mc/mark-all-like-this) ;; First mark the word, then add more cursors. ;; To get out of multiple-cursors-mode, press `` or `C-g`. The latter will ;; first disable multiple regions before disabling multiple cursors. If you want to ;; insert a newline in multiple-cursors-mode, use `C-j`. ;; ## Video ;; You can [watch an intro to multiple-cursors at Emacs Rocks](http://emacsrocks.com/e13.html). ;; ## Command overview ;; ### Mark one more occurrence ;; - `mc/mark-next-like-this`: Adds a cursor and region at the next part of the buffer forwards that matches the current region. ;; - `mc/mark-next-like-this-word`: Adds a cursor and region at the next part of the buffer forwards that matches the current region, if no region is selected it selects the word at the point. ;; - `mc/mark-next-like-this-symbol`: Adds a cursor and region at the next part of the buffer forwards that matches the current region, if no region is selected it selects the symbol at the point. ;; - `mc/mark-next-word-like-this`: Like `mc/mark-next-like-this` but only for whole words. ;; - `mc/mark-next-symbol-like-this`: Like `mc/mark-next-like-this` but only for whole symbols. ;; - `mc/mark-previous-like-this`: Adds a cursor and region at the next part of the buffer backwards that matches the current region. ;; - `mc/mark-previous-word-like-this`: Like `mc/mark-previous-like-this` but only for whole words. ;; - `mc/mark-previous-symbol-like-this`: Like `mc/mark-previous-like-this` but only for whole symbols. ;; - `mc/mark-more-like-this-extended`: Use arrow keys to quickly mark/skip next/previous occurances. ;; - `mc/add-cursor-on-click`: Bind to a mouse event to add cursors by clicking. See tips-section. ;; ### Mark many occurrences ;; - `mc/mark-all-like-this`: Marks all parts of the buffer that matches the current region. ;; - `mc/mark-all-words-like-this`: Like `mc/mark-all-like-this` but only for whole words. ;; - `mc/mark-all-symbols-like-this`: Like `mc/mark-all-like-this` but only for whole symbols. ;; - `mc/mark-all-in-region`: Prompts for a string to match in the region, adding cursors to all of them. ;; - `mc/mark-all-like-this-in-defun`: Marks all parts of the current defun that matches the current region. ;; - `mc/mark-all-words-like-this-in-defun`: Like `mc/mark-all-like-this-in-defun` but only for whole words. ;; - `mc/mark-all-symbols-like-this-in-defun`: Like `mc/mark-all-like-this-in-defun` but only for whole symbols. ;; - `mc/mark-all-like-this-dwim`: Tries to be smart about marking everything you want. Can be pressed multiple times. ;; ### Special ;; - `set-rectangular-region-anchor`: Think of this one as `set-mark` except you're marking a rectangular region. ;; - `mc/mark-sgml-tag-pair`: Mark the current opening and closing tag. ;; - `mc/insert-numbers`: Insert increasing numbers for each cursor, top to bottom. ;; - `mc/insert-letters`: Insert increasing letters for each cursor, top to bottom. ;; - `mc/sort-regions`: Sort the marked regions alphabetically. ;; - `mc/reverse-regions`: Reverse the order of the marked regions. ;; ## Tips and tricks ;; - To get out of multiple-cursors-mode, press `` or `C-g`. The latter will ;; first disable multiple regions before disabling multiple cursors. If you want to ;; insert a newline in multiple-cursors-mode, use `C-j`. ;; ;; - Sometimes you end up with cursors outside of your view. You can ;; scroll the screen to center on each cursor with `C-v` and `M-v`. ;; ;; - Try pressing `mc/mark-next-like-this` with no region selected. It will just add a cursor ;; on the next line. ;; ;; - Try pressing `mc/mark-next-like-this-word` or ;; `mc/mark-next-like-this-symbol` with no region selected. It will ;; mark the symbol and add a cursor at the next occurance ;; ;; - Try pressing `mc/mark-all-like-this-dwim` on a tagname in html-mode. ;; ;; - Notice that the number of cursors active can be seen in the modeline. ;; ;; - If you get out of multiple-cursors-mode and yank - it will yank only ;; from the kill-ring of main cursor. To yank from the kill-rings of ;; every cursor use yank-rectangle, normally found at C-x r y. ;; ;; - You can use `mc/reverse-regions` with nothing selected and just one cursor. ;; It will then flip the sexp at point and the one below it. ;; ;; - If you would like to keep the global bindings clean, and get custom keybindings ;; when the region is active, you can try [region-bindings-mode](https://github.com/fgallina/region-bindings-mode). ;; ;; BTW, I highly recommend adding `mc/mark-next-like-this` to a key binding that's ;; right next to the key for `er/expand-region`. ;; ### Binding mouse events ;; To override a mouse event, you will likely have to also unbind the ;; `down-mouse` part of the event. Like this: ;; ;; (global-unset-key (kbd "M-")) ;; (global-set-key (kbd "M-") 'mc/add-cursor-on-click) ;; ;; Or you can do like me and find an unused, but less convenient, binding: ;; ;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-") 'mc/add-cursor-on-click) ;; ## Unknown commands ;; Multiple-cursors uses two lists of commands to know what to do: the run-once list ;; and the run-for-all list. It comes with a set of defaults, but it would be beyond silly ;; to try and include all the known Emacs commands. ;; So that's why multiple-cursors occasionally asks what to do about a command. It will ;; then remember your choice by saving it in `~/.emacs.d/.mc-lists.el`. You can change ;; the location with: ;; (setq mc/list-file "/my/preferred/file") ;; ## Known limitations ;; * isearch-forward and isearch-backward aren't supported with multiple cursors. ;; You should feel free to add a simplified version that can work with it. ;; * Commands run with `M-x` won't be repeated for all cursors. ;; * All key bindings that refer to lambdas are always run for all cursors. If you ;; need to limit it, you will have to give it a name. ;; * Redo might screw with your cursors. Undo works very well. ;; ## Contribute ;; Yes, please do. There's a suite of tests, so remember to add tests for your ;; specific feature, or I might break it later. ;; You'll find the repo at: ;; https://github.com/magnars/multiple-cursors.el ;; To fetch the test dependencies: ;; $ cd /path/to/multiple-cursors ;; $ git submodule update --init ;; Run the tests with: ;; $ ./util/ecukes/ecukes --graphical ;; ## Contributors ;; * [Takafumi Arakaki](https://github.com/tkf) made .mc-lists.el diff friendly ;; * [Marco Baringer](https://github.com/segv) contributed looping to mc/cycle and adding cursors without region for mark-more. ;; * [Ivan Andrus](https://github.com/gvol) added showing number of cursors in mode-line ;; * [Fuco](https://github.com/Fuco1) added the first version of `mc/mark-all-like-this-dwim` ;; Thanks! ;;; Code: (require 'mc-edit-lines) (require 'mc-cycle-cursors) (require 'mc-mark-more) (require 'mc-mark-pop) (require 'rectangular-region-mode) (require 'mc-separate-operations) (require 'mc-hide-unmatched-lines-mode) (provide 'multiple-cursors) ;;; multiple-cursors.el ends here
