QCodeEdit

[Usability]

Here is a thought.
With your cursor mirrors, could you allow the cursor movement keys to operate on all the cursors?

I just wanted to add some characters to the end of a 100 or so lines of different length. It would have been really nice to drop a cursor mirror on all the lines, push the end of line key, and start typing.

Then you could do other useful edits with a column of cursors, for example left arrow back a few characters and insert something.

You would kill of the cursor mirrors and return to a single cursor with a mouse click.

I added the possiblity to move aligned cursors (including but not limited to column edit) as long as the "real" cursor remains on the same line. This moves support Shift-based selection so it is possible to turn a column edit into column selection or to extend a column selection through the keyboard.

Support for such "extended" key bindings is more controversial (and currently trickier to implement) for it would break column edit but I guess I can always add a workaround for the end of line key since I admit this one would be handy...

Edit : after reviewing the changes with a more critical eye it appeared to be less consistent than I expected so I instead implemented a proper full "cursor move mirroring". Mirrors disappear as soon as any cursor (real or mirror) leave the line it was on and the alignment can always be restored (as long as there are cursor mirrors of course...) thorugh the start key.
