Atom's default cursor up/down movement is based on characters' code units, but it looks very strange if you use "wide" characters like East Asian ones. This package corrects it to make cursor movement visually intuitive.

Commands

The package also provides some commands, which are (visually intuitive) alternatives to the commands provided by multi-cursor.

Name	Description	Windows	macOS	Linux
Add Previous Line	Create a cursor in the previous (up) line for each cursor.	`alt` + `up`	`alt` + `up`	`ctrl` + `shift` + `up`
Add Next Line	Create a cursor in the next (down) line for each cursor.	`alt` + `down`	`alt` + `down`	`ctrl` + `shift` + `down`
Move Last Cursor Up	Move the most recently added cursor up.	`ctrl` + `shift` + `alt` + `up`	`ctrl` + `alt` + `up`	`ctrl` + `shift` + `alt` + `up`
Move Last Cursor Down	Move the most recently added cursor down.	`ctrl` + `shift` + `alt` + `down`	`ctrl` + `alt` + `down`	`ctrl` + `shift` + `alt` + `down`

You may want to customize keymaps by yourself:

'atom-text-editor:not(.mini)':
  'alt-up'        : 'move-cursor-improved:add-previous-line'
  'alt-down'      : 'move-cursor-improved:add-next-line'
  'ctrl-alt-down' : 'move-cursor-improved:move-last-cursor-down'
  'ctrl-alt-up'   : 'move-cursor-improved:move-last-cursor-up'
  'ctrl-alt-left' : 'move-cursor-improved:move-last-cursor-left'
  'ctrl-alt-right': 'move-cursor-improved:move-last-cursor-right'
