Description
It is great that micro supports multiple cursors which makes it perhaps the most powerful non-modal terminal editor.
To be on par with contemporary editors, though, one important feature is missing: select all regex matches.
This is available, for example, in VSCode: Ctrl-F->Enter Regex->Alt-Enter
Editors like VIS and Kakoune have even more powerful equivalents, of course.
Could you consider adding such a feature?
Thanks!

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing multiple-cursor and regex-search entry points, then determine how the feature should select every regex match. Done should mean that a documented command or key sequence selects all matches as multiple cursors.
