.multicursor is a file type that allows rendering multiple cursors. It was created for the Helix Editor
It supports 4 types of selections:
-
Primary selection, with cursor on the left
hello #[|world]# -
Primary selection, with cursor on the right
hello #[world|]# -
Non-primary selection, with cursor on the left
hello #(|world)# -
Non-primary selection, with cursor on the right
hello #(world|)#
A file with the following content:
hello #[|world]#
hello #[world|]#
hello #(|world)#
hello #(world|)#
Generates the following tree:
(source_file [0, 0] - [4, 0]
; hello #[|world]#
(text [0, 0] - [0, 6]) ; hello
(left_primary [0, 6] - [0, 16] ; #[|world]#
(start_left_primary [0, 6] - [0, 9]) ; #[|
(cursor_primary [0, 9] - [0, 10]) ; w
(char [0, 10] - [0, 11]) ; o
(char [0, 11] - [0, 12]) ; r
(char [0, 12] - [0, 13]) ; l
(char [0, 13] - [0, 14]) ; d
(end_left_primary [0, 14] - [0, 16])) ; ]#
(text [0, 16] - [1, 6])
(right_primary [1, 6] - [1, 16]
(start_right_primary [1, 6] - [1, 8])
(char [1, 8] - [1, 9])
(char [1, 9] - [1, 10])
(char [1, 10] - [1, 11])
(char [1, 11] - [1, 12])
(cursor_primary [1, 12] - [1, 13])
(end_right_primary [1, 13] - [1, 16]))
(text [1, 16] - [2, 6])
