+Feature: Multiple cursors core
+  In order to make efficient changes
+  As an Emacs user with multiple-cursors
+  I want to change multiple parts of the buffer at once
+
+  Scenario: Two cursors
+    Given there is no region selected
+    When I insert "This text contains the word text twice"
+    And I select "text"
+    And I press "C->"
+    And I press "C-g"
+    Then I should have 2 cursors
