#2Looks lovely!
Though I would appreciate non-Mac shortcuts too (I am guessing ctrl- can be used instead of cmd-)

Agreed. I got excited, because it looked like a way to get Sublime-friendly features in a remote terminal, but all the macvim-centric bindings look like a blocker. Still, it's a great reference for Vim plugins that can bring Vim closer to Sublime.

#4The most awesome feature of SublimeText for me is multiple-cursor editing (Ctrl-D on a word). It only bothers me when I can't skip next occurrences easily (It's possible, but it's hard)
It surprises me how users of other major editors don't use multiple cursors in their day to day editing tasks. It'd be awesome if subvim included the best solution vim community has to offer in this regard.

Pressing Ctrl-K,D to skip an entry is quite cumbersome, especially if you missed an entry and there is no way of undoing the last selection.

Vim has block editing mode (ctrl v - select, shift i, write text, esc) and the ability to record macros. With those two features you can do everything multiple cursors does and more!

#7This seems rad, my only 2cents is that using modifier keys is not very vimmy. But altogether really cool. Nice work.

Just tried C-D on my rarely used Sublime Text, but I'm not sure if I'd personally prefer that over something like `:%s/one/two/gc`.

I rarely use global find and replace nowadays (just for complex regex replaces). I hold Ctrl-D until all occurrences are selected and type the replacement string (assuming occurrences are low in quantity, which they usually are in most cases).
