Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code, and Atom all bind the "spawn multiple cursors" action to Ctrl/Cmd+D by default. Micro currently defaults to Alt+N. I think there is a strong case for aligning with the industry standard here, especially since Micro already uses the same bindings as those editors for most other actions.

Research direction
Start by locating Micro's default keybinding definitions and the binding for the multiple-cursor action. Compare the current Alt+N behavior with the requested Ctrl/Cmd+D default, then verify that the updated binding works in the terminal editor and that existing keybindings remain consistent.
