Neovim version 0.13.0 is assumed to happen at the start of October 2026.
I am curious to see if the new feature of "Multiple Cursors" is as useful and easy to use as the "https://github.com/mg979/vim-visual-multi" plugin I currently use. I mostly used this plugin with visual mode, selecting lines and then g m c to create a cursor on each line.
Hopefully the built-in Multiple Cursors feature will remove the need for this extra plugin.
I appreciate the need for multiple cursors is often challenged as using Vim's powerful editing commands can give the same results.
For me, multiple cursors provides very clear and instant feedback to the changes I am making. Sometimes the equivalent vim commands can be a little harder to get useful and confident with.
Breaking changes are expected to be minimal from the current Neovim 0.12.x releases, so there shouldnt be too much work involved 🤞
AstroNvim has already started applying changes in preparation for Neovim 0.13.0.
Practicalli nvim-astro will cut a new release soon after the next AstroNvim release.
