-* TODO: [4/11]
-** DONE (set-marker MARKER nil) for performance
-** DONE C-g deactivates regions first, before disabling multiple-cursors
-** DONE more state to save per cursor: er/history
-** DONE refactor: an object with all the current state, used for both overlays 
and current
+* Ideas [1/5]
+** DONE rectangular-region-mode
+   Switch to a specialized multiple-cursors mode, anchoring it to the current
+   cursor position. Moving around increases/decreases the size/number of 
cursors,
+   to simulate vertical editing in textmate.
+** TODO Cycle through cursors
+   To scroll the buffer and watch all your cursors - make a keybinding for
+   promoting the next/previous fake cursor.
+** TODO Create replacements for common non-working commands
+   Possible to do C-s ... how about M-y ?
+   Any way to make M-z just prompt for letter once?
+** TODO mark-multiple-mode
+   mark-multiple has some advantages
+    -> simpler visuals, no extra cursors (matter of taste?)
+    -> moving out of the marked area quits the mode
+    -> yank-pop actually works
 ** TODO unknown command: Do for (a)ll, (o)nce or (i)gnore -> (did that work 
ok? (k)eep doing that or (d)on't)
    unknown-command ran once - what now? (o)nce is enough, repeat for (a)ll, 
(u)ndo - that did NOT work.
    unknown-command ran for all - did that work as expected? (y)es, (n)o
    what to do about unknown-command in the future? Run it (o)nce, or (s)top it 
from being run.
+* BUGS: [0/4]
+** TODO with multiple regions active, C-d deletes only a char in the fake ones
+** TODO there's something going wrong with last-command/this-command?
+   expand-region works nicely, even collapse when we save er/history, but last 
collapse puts all cursors in same spot
+** TODO clean up overlays when reverting buffer
+** TODO rectangular-region-mode fails when lines of the buffer have been 
hidden (ref collapse in org-mode)
+* TODO: [4/6]
+** DONE (set-marker MARKER nil) for performance
+** DONE C-g deactivates regions first, before disabling multiple-cursors
+** DONE more state to save per cursor: er/history
+** DONE refactor: an object with all the current state, used for both overlays 
and current
 ** TODO separate mark-multiple and multiple-cursors
    mark-multiple goes back to being the util? or just dies?
    given the problem with extract-var and undo, may just kill mark-multiple.
    problem with that is: C-g when doing rename-tag shouldn't go to 
multiple-cursors.
