Startup time on Ubuntu 22 is 3-4 seconds, which is very slow. Installed via Flatpak, .dep package did not work.

In scite I can do block selection with Shift+Alt+Up but as soon as a press left/right/end/pos1 the multi carets disappear, it's not what I expect and prefer but multiple carets should rather be removed explicitly only with the escape key.

That's a awesome feature and I overlooked it yesterday, at least as often as this I do following: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/idea/488560/multi-caret-editing-shortcut-to-create-new-caret-u.html?childToView=489495#comment-489495 Is this also supported? I wonder which editors invented simultaneous editing, it's super useful. I've not the best eye-sight and love the fat caret of Visual Studio Code.

I further examined scite and it seems it's amost there, I can set multiple carets with ctrl+mouse left click and can use then keys like left, right, end, ctrl+right etc to move the carets. I could't find a way to set multiple carets without mouse and get the same behavior.

It's possible to set multiple carets but it's not possible to use keys like arrow, ctrl+arrow, pos1, end etc.
