Allow to create multi-cursor with keyboard

• VSCode Version: 1.10.0 - insider
• OS Version: Windows

– Sorry for the English, I used Google Translator –

Allow me to place multiple cursors by navigating with the arrow keys.

Like this extension multi-cursor-plus of Atom. Press alt + x to highlight a cursor, use the arrow keys to scroll to the next location you want (by pressing the alt key), and press again.

If I wanted to take some specific cursor, I’ll enter the arrows to the location and press alt + x again.

I am looking for this exact feature on VSCode, I love it on Atom and was trying to replicate it on VSCode. Ctrl-Alt-Down/Up is not the same thing, I’d like to be able to freely move the active cursor while holding Alt and marking it with X whenever I want. After releasing Alt all cursors would be positioned where I wanted. It’s a lot faster than using the mouse.
