My colleague Lee did this for kakoune after he saw my lazyvim setup like 6 months ago I'm just catching up. I'm really coming around to the selection-first editor approach.

[keys.normal.space.g]

It takes your multiple cursors/selections and vertically aligns them. It's niche enough that I probably won't ever use it, but it made me feel like the selections concept they've made has power.

I have a pet hypothesis that anyone who wanted a public works project built in the US from 1799 to 1950 would name it Washington to give it the best chance of getting built.
