Anybody got multiple-cursors and corfu to play nice together? Whenever I have multiple cursors and bring up an autocomplete menu, then navigating the suggestions or accepting a suggestion does not work as I would hope.

if you're on 31, consider switching to completion-preview-mode. I moved away from corfu for that and can't be happier. It immediately improved my typing - turns out corfu is a bit distracting, rather than helping. Although I can't say how it works with MC, I need to test that out.

Ok, I'll check that out. How does the feature-set of completion-preview-mode compare to corfu? Do you get completions with annotations and quick-docs? I haven't found corfu to be in the way or to be distracting, but that could be due to my config that requires me to manually summon the autocomplete (using M-Space).

if you're manually invoking it anyway, you could just enable completion-preview-mode and that shouldn't interfere with your current flow. Instead of corfu I simply do completion-at-point now which let's me choose the option from the list in vertico.

Good tip, thanks!
