Description

  • finally a great terminal editor with flawlessly working multicursor out of the box.

  • Puts the default hotkey on two hand, or acrobatic pinky hotkey alt+n

ctrl+d used by sublime, VSCode or Atom might be problematic for some I guess, as it logs out of terminal, but inside the editor it works nicely... and considering how nicely micro is keeping with ctrl+z and ctrl+s and ctrl+c and ctrl+v,.. to which old school might also rebel..

well I keep changing it obviously in my config, it would just be nicer if it was just there

Research direction

The issue proposes changing the default multicursor hotkey from alt+n to ctrl+d, but names no file or test. Locate the default keybinding entry point and check how terminal and editor key handling are tested; done means the agreed default is changed without breaking the existing editor controls.
