HTML Mirror Cursor off by default

We have made Mirror Cursor an opt-in feature. In the upcoming iteration, we'll continue to improve its implementation to make this feature more easily understandable and available to more languages. You can still use this feature by turning on html.mirrorCursorOnMatchingTag.

The vscode devs have heard you. The mirror cursor functionality is being substantially modified. You can test it in the Insiders' Build now so perhaps it'll get into v1.44 or soon thereafter.

Especially pasting into a tag has been much improved. And no dual cursors. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/88424#issuecomment-600840619

And release notes: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_44.md#synced-regions It is in v1.44.
