Configure Meow Like Helix

[jgarte]

Hi,

I'd like to configure meow like helix.

I'm wondering if I will face any limitations with the current implementation of meow that will prevent me or make it difficult from me to do this.

beacon mode isn't as nifty as helix s multicursor functionality.

meow-next-word also skips over things like >, } and ), exactly has its function name implies :P, but I haven't found the elisp invocation yet to make it not do that.

The rest should be manageable, but I think whenever there is too much friction it's better to embrace the Emacs side then force it work like helix.

This package also helps: https://github.com/skissue/meow-tree-sitter

Hm, what are You missing from "multicursor" functionality from Helix?

Able to match a regex in a selection area and spawn a cursor in there. Currently I use visual-replace to achieve this.
