Could you comment specifically on this part of the comment you replied to?

> Kakoune actively makes it harder to do the normal thing people do in a text editor: jump around a file and make specific edits to individual lines. Instead, a bunch of normal movement commands (such as forward and backward search) leave extra cursors in your wake, forcing you to press an extra key to dismiss them otherwise you'll get erroneous edits

Do you find that's the case? If so, how do you deal with it? Just remember to dismiss the extra cursors?
