Thanks. Worked for me for other shortkeys than ` (backtick), since the initial backtick key is waiting for another character, i.e. e to print è

nice works great here!

Thanks, that's really convenient!

https://gist.github.com/yuanqing/87bceacedde4dbd96fab has multi-cursor support.

This is wonderful, thank you

@sagold If you have the backticks issue because of an international keyboard you can do this (on mac) : https://www.foobarflies.io/backticks-on-the-mac-keyboard/

Thanks! Working great here for multi-selection and multi-cursor.
