ReadMe have a complex explanation on the usage, bad for newcomers.

At ReadMe:

select all: start muticursor and directly select all matches

I searched for an hour and did not found what <A-n> combination actually means, can you edit the text in a way that is friendly to new users of vim? I do know what is but some people might not and this is bad for the project in general.

@marcospb19 , sorry but <A-n> is standard way to note Alt + n in vim.
You try typing the following in vim to get more info:

:help <A-n

Thanks,
Antoine

This should not be closed, there's no explanation to newcomers of what <C and <A means and we did not discussed it properly, this is not only about me (i expect lots of sublime users to use your software because it's explicitly associated with it).

Seems like urxvt don't support Alt + N combination, so i spent most of my time confused, i tried Alt + N several times and i only understood the real problem after your explanation, thank you anyways.
