Multiple cursors, nice!

Minimap enabled by default is curious to me. The scrollbar already shows repo changes and searches, making it easy to seek a line and jump to it, the minimap doesn't really add anything but clutter.

VS Code has had multiple cursors for the better part of a year. Here they're just adding another hotkey for it.

It's more than "just adding another hotkey for it", it's making it finally viable to most Linux users, for whom Alt+LeftClick was unusable due to being intercepted by the Window Manager as a drag window event. (And no, I don't want to re-bind this WM event, it's has been well-known and convenient for decades :).

Thanks vscode team!

That's true. When I used Linux I rebound the window event since I never used it.

Really like the new git merge feature. Thank you.

I wish I known that plugin before. very nice!
