Describe the bug The cursors do not align when moving them with the arrow keys while in insert mode.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Enter normal mode of multicursors with <leader>m.
2. Move the cursor down or up with j or k.
3. Enter insert mode with i.
4. Move the cursor with the arrow keys.

Expected behavior

It is expected that the cursors align when moving them with the arrow keys, just as they do when entering insert mode with a.

Additional context

Add any other context about the problem here.

It works with append a:

Tested on minimum configuration:

local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then
  local lazyrepo = "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git"
  local out = vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "--branch=stable", lazyrepo, lazypath })
  if vim.v.shell_error ~= 0 then
    vim.api.nvim_echo({
      { "Failed to clone lazy.nvim:\n", "ErrorMsg" },
      { out, "WarningMsg" },
      { "\nPress any key to exit..." },
    }, true, {})
    vim.fn.getchar()
    os.exit(1)
  end
end
require("lazy").setup({
  spec = {
    {
      "smoka7/multicursors.nvim",
      event = "VeryLazy",
      dependencies = {
        "nvimtools/hydra.nvim",
      },
      opts = {},
      cmd = { "MCstart", "MCvisual", "MCclear", "MCpattern", "MCvisualPattern", "MCunderCursor" },
      keys = {
        {
          mode = { "v", "n" },
          "<Leader>m",
          "<cmd>MCstart<cr>",
          desc = "Create a selection for selected text or word under the cursor",
        },
      },
    },
  },
  defaults = {
    lazy = false,
  },
})

I just verified that it works correctly in version 2.0.0. It would be good to consider this regression in the main branch (commit 562809a) for future versions.

[smoka7]

I can't reproduce this. Are you sure that the behavior changed since v2.0.0? Cause there is no change in logic between v2.0.0 and the main.

[eofferma]

You're right, I did more testing with version 2.0.0, and the problem persists.

The issue occurs with insert and append when I create the multicursors from anywhere other than the beginning of the word in the case of insert or the end of the word in the case of append.

The issue occurs with insert and append when I create the multicursors from anywhere other than the beginning of the word in the case of insert or the end of the word in the case of append.

It should move that way cause j and k only create a selection for just a char not the word. If you want to create cursor for the word use the n.
