about: Adding code editor capabilities to a co-authoring environment

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We would like to use Etherpads for co-authoring markdown meeting minutes. Etherpad has the co-authoring covered. We're interested in making it easier to author markdown-styled documents by using multi-line selection/editing capabilities commonly found in code editors.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to add functionality that enables multi-line editing and multi-selection. For example a keyboard shortcut that enables "select next", "insert on multiple lines", and "duplicate line".
Describe alternatives you've considered
- VS Code has plugins that enable co-authoring but they are heavy
- Word has co-authoring capability but it doesn't have multi-line selection or editing
Additional context
This is essentially a mashup of the multi-line editing/selection commonly found in IDE's and the co-authoring capabilities of a word processing interface
Plugin?
Very possibly ;)
