Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to position the cursor at will, instead of matching the word under the current cursor
Describe the solution you'd like
Sometimes I need to modify multiple places, but not the same word
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, it can only be realized by using the built-in alt+click of VSCode, but it needs the cooperation of the mouse, which is a bit troublesome
Additional context
Can it be implemented with VScodeVim currently? If not, I hope my ideas can be adopted

Research direction
Start by reviewing VSCodeVim's existing cursor and multiple-cursor entry points, then compare them with VS Code's built-in Alt+Click behavior. Clarify the intended keyboard interaction and define done as allowing multiple independently positioned cursors without mouse cooperation.
