Keybinding for find all matches?

[azzamsa]

Hi, 👋

How to mark all matches?
What I find here https://github.com/smoka7/multicursors.nvim?tab=readme-ov-file#multi-cursor-mode, only n and N for the next and previous.

But I find a similar function name https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Asmoka7%2Fmulticursors.nvim+find_all_matches+&type=code

Hi, There is no mapping set for find all matches. That function is used in :MCpattern.
If anyone wants to add this, I'll accept a pr for it.

It turns out to be harder than I imagined. Using while will hang Neovim because of its single-threaded nature (I assume). So, I believe I need to call S.find_all_matches(content, pattern, 0, 0) and pass both the content and pattern. For now, I'll stick with using :MCpattern.
