Plugin is deprecated, use vim-visual-multi instead

[antoinemadec]

vim-visual-multi should be used instead of this plugin for the following reasons:

• it is way faster
• it has more features (completion support, status bar integration, creation of cursors on the fly etc)
• it is being maintained

No more bugs will be fixed, no more features will be added.

@terryma @antoinemadec I use this plugin since day one. Thanks for the work.

This was a wonderful plugin - thank you so much for it @antoinemadec and @terryma ! I used it everyday as well. Take care and all the best!

I actually like your work more than the mg979/vim-visual-multi. 😢

[antoinemadec]

@moskytw any reason in particular?

[moskytw]

The selection (C-x vs. q) and mode switching (i, etc. + Esc vs. Tab) keystrokes make more sense. You work makes me feel more like vim itself.

Your highlight styles (colors) are also better than that.

Thank you for the information. However, while trying vim-visual-multi, I realized that the shortcut C-n + s (to erase the highlighted words and enter multi-cursor insert mode) does not work. Moreover, since no substitute shortcut has been mentioned in the new plugin's documentation, I had to revert to this plugin.

Half a day of shuffling with vim-visual-multi and I came back. It just doesn't work for me, remaping my keys for some reason.
