-## More commands to play around with
+## Command overview
 
-I've set up my key-bindings like so:
+### Mark one more occurrence
 
-    ;; From active region to multiple cursors:
-    (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-c C-S-c") 'mc/edit-lines)
-    (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-c C-e") 'mc/edit-ends-of-lines)
-    (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-c C-a") 'mc/edit-beginnings-of-lines)
+ - `mc/mark-next-like-this`: Adds a cursor and region at the next part of the 
buffer forwards that matches the current region.
+ - `mc/mark-next-word-like-this`: Like `mc/mark-next-like-this` but only for 
whole words.
+ - `mc/mark-next-symbol-like-this`: Like `mc/mark-next-like-this` but only for 
whole symbols.
+ - `mc/mark-previous-like-this`: Adds a cursor and region at the next part of 
the buffer backwards that matches the current region.
+ - `mc/mark-previous-word-like-this`: Like `mc/mark-previous-like-this` but 
only for whole words.
+ - `mc/mark-previous-symbol-like-this`: Like `mc/mark-previous-like-this` but 
only for whole symbols.
+ - `mc/mark-more-like-this-extended`: Use arrow keys to quickly mark/skip 
next/previous occurances.
 
-When you have an active region that spans multiple lines, the preceeding three
-commands will add one cursor to each line.
+### Mark many occurrences
 
-    ;; Rectangular region mode
-    (global-set-key (kbd "H-SPC") 'set-rectangular-region-anchor)
+ - `mc/mark-all-like-this`: Marks all parts of the buffer that matches the 
current region.
+ - `mc/mark-all-words-like-this`: Like `mc/mark-all-like-this` but only for 
whole words.
+ - `mc/mark-all-symbols-like-this`: Like `mc/mark-all-like-this` but only for 
whole symbols.
+ - `mc/mark-all-in-region`: Prompts for a string to match in the region, 
adding cursors to all of them.
+ - `mc/mark-all-like-this-in-defun`: Marks all parts of the current defun that 
matches the current region.
+ - `mc/mark-all-words-like-this-in-defun`: Like 
`mc/mark-all-like-this-in-defun` but only for whole words.
+ - `mc/mark-all-symbols-like-this-in-defun`: Like 
`mc/mark-all-like-this-in-defun` but only for whole symbols.
+ - `mc/mark-all-like-this-dwim`: Tries to be smart about marking everything 
you want. Can be pressed multiple times.
 
-Think of this one as `set-mark` except you're marking a rectangular region. It 
is
-an exceedingly quick way of adding multiple cursors to multiple lines.
+### Special
 
-    ;; Mark more like this
-    (global-set-key (kbd "M-æ") 'mc/mark-all-like-this)
-    (global-set-key (kbd "C-å") 'mc/mark-previous-like-this)
-    (global-set-key (kbd "C-æ") 'mc/mark-next-like-this)
-    (global-set-key (kbd "C-Æ") 'mc/mark-more-like-this-extended)
-    (global-set-key (kbd "M-å") 'mc/mark-all-in-region)
+ - `set-rectangular-region-anchor`: Think of this one as `set-mark` except 
you're marking a rectangular region.
+ - `mc/mark-sgml-tag-pair`: Mark the current opening and closing tag.
 
-Okay, yes, I have a crazy norwegian keyboard. Regardless, these will look at
-whatever you've got selected at the moment, and mark more places like that in
-the buffer.
+## Tips and tricks
 
-If you would like to keep the global bindings clean, and get custom keybindings
-when the region is active, you can try 
[region-bindings-mode](https://github.com/fgallina/region-bindings-mode).
+- To get out of multiple-cursors-mode, press `<return>` or `C-g`. The latter 
will
+  first disable multiple regions before disabling multiple cursors. If you 
want to
+  insert a newline in multiple-cursors-mode, use `C-j`.
 
-BTW, I highly recommend adding `mc/mark-next-like-this` to a key binding that's
-right next to the key for `er/expand-region`.
+- Sometimes you end up with cursors outside of your view. You can
+  scroll the screen to center on each cursor with `C-v` and `M-v`.
+
+- Try pressing `mc/mark-next-like-this` with no region selected. It will just 
add a cursor
+  on the next line.
 
-## Scrolling
+- Try pressing `mc/mark-all-like-this-dwim` on a tagname in html-mode.
 
-Sometimes you end up with cursors outside of your view. You can scroll the

 ;; Multiple cursors for Emacs. This is some pretty crazy functionality, so yes,
 ;; there are kinks. Don't be afraid tho, I've been using it since 2011 with
 ;; great success and much merriment.
-;;
+
 ;; ## Basic usage
-;;
+
 ;; Start out with:
-;;
+
 ;;     (require 'multiple-cursors)
-;;
+
+;; Then you have to set up your keybindings - multiple-cursors doesn't presume 
to
+;; know how you'd like them laid out. Here are some examples:
+
 ;; When you have an active region that spans multiple lines, the following will
 ;; add a cursor to each line:
-;;
+
 ;;     (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-c C-S-c") 'mc/edit-lines)
-;;
+
 ;; When you want to add multiple cursors not based on continuous lines, but 
based on
 ;; keywords in the buffer, use:
-;;
+
 ;;     (global-set-key (kbd "C->") 'mc/mark-next-like-this)
 ;;     (global-set-key (kbd "C-<") 'mc/mark-previous-like-this)
 ;;     (global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-<") 'mc/mark-all-like-this)
-;;
+
 ;; First mark the word, then add more cursors.
-;;
+
 ;; To get out of multiple-cursors-mode, press `<return>` or `C-g`. The latter 
will
 ;; first disable multiple regions before disabling multiple cursors. If you 
want to
 ;; insert a newline in multiple-cursors-mode, use `C-j`.

+
 ;; ## Unknown commands
-;;
+
 ;; Multiple-cursors uses two lists of commands to know what to do: the 
run-once list
 ;; and the run-for-all list. It comes with a set of defaults, but it would be 
beyond silly
 ;; to try and include all the known Emacs commands.
-;;
+
 ;; So that's why multiple-cursors occasionally asks what to do about a 
command. It will
 ;; then remember your choice by saving it in `~/.emacs.d/.mc-lists.el`. You 
can change
 ;; the location with:
-;;
+
 ;;     (setq mc/list-file "/my/preferred/file")
-;;
-;;
+
 ;; ## Known limitations
-;;
+
 ;; * isearch-forward and isearch-backward aren't supported with multiple 
cursors.
 ;;   You should feel free to add a simplified version that can work with it.
 ;; * Commands run with `M-x` won't be repeated for all cursors.
 ;; * All key bindings that refer to lambdas are always run for all cursors. If 
you
 ;;   need to limit it, you will have to give it a name.
 ;; * Redo might screw with your cursors. Undo works very well.
-;;
-;;
+
 ;; ## Contribute
-;;
+
 ;; Yes, please do. There's a suite of tests, so remember to add tests for your
 ;; specific feature, or I might break it later.
-;;
+
 ;; You'll find the repo at:
-;;
+
 ;;     https://github.com/magnars/multiple-cursors.el
-;;
+
 ;; To fetch the test dependencies:
-;;
+
 ;;     $ cd /path/to/multiple-cursors
 ;;     $ git submodule update --init
-;;
+
 ;; Run the tests with:
-;;
+
 ;;     $ ./util/ecukes/ecukes --graphical
-;;
+
+;; ## Contributors
+
+;; * [Takafumi Arakaki](https://github.com/tkf) made .mc-lists.el diff friendly
+;; * [Marco Baringer](https://github.com/segv) contributed looping to mc/cycle 
and adding cursors without region for mark-more.
+;; * [Ivan Andrus](https://github.com/gvol) added showing number of cursors in 
mode-line
+;; * [Fuco](https://github.com/Fuco1) added the first version of 
`mc/mark-all-like-this-dwim`
