I’d like actual examples instead of “I work faster”, something like “I can move straight to the middle of the file with 7mv” or “I can keep 4 different text snippets in memory and paste each with a number+pt, like 2pt”, things that you actually use somewhat frequently instead of what you can do, but probably only did once.

    1. Ctrl-shift-}
    2. How often do you want to delete exactly 9 words? It’s much easier if this is interactive.
    3. Not a common task IMO.
    4. Ctrl-F and click a button. This is rare enough that a button click is fine.
    5. Not sure what you mean by “jagger files” but I find multiple cursors are a lot easier to get right than e.g. regex replace because they give you instant feedback. Vim sequences are more like “oh you got it wrong, better start from scratch”.
