Color cursor differently when multiple cursors are active

[silverweed]

Hello, I am wondering whether there is a way to change the cursors' color when multiple cursors are active. Here is an issue I sometimes have while working in Helix:

• search for some pattern in the file (e.g. for find & replace)
• change file
• come back to the previous file after a while
• do some changes, forgetting that I have multiple cursors still active in this file (because e.g. they're not visible in the current view alongside the primary cursor)
• realize after a while that I mistakenly edited random parts of the file.

I know you can color the primary and secondary cursors differently, but my concern here is really to color all the cursors a different color only while multiple cursors are active, so that it's immediately obvious when coming back to the file that I shouldn't forget typing , before continuing editing.

Is there such a possibility? I didn't find anything like this in the themes docs.

Thanks.

you can glance at the status bar (bottom right by default) to check how many selections you have.

do some changes, forgetting that I have multiple cursors still active in this file (because e.g. they're not visible in the current view alongside the primary cursor)

having them all different colors wouldn't help you here cause they're not visible anyway. The status bar does still tell you though
