For a temporary fix:

  1. open the console (you can use ctrl+shift+I shortcut, respectively alt+command+I shortcut on MacOS),
  2. run atom.config.set('core.editor.multiCursorOnClick', true);.

Notes: You might also want to take a look at your hyperclick or atom-ide-hyperclick package. In atom preferences, go to Settings and change the Trigger keys for MacOS to become command + click.

I've solved this issue by changing the trigger keys to shift+control+click, in atom-ide-ui, under the Hyperclick section.

The hyperclick module is now part of the IDE module and having both hyperclick and IDE installed causes this problem, too. Deleting the old hyperclick module fixes it (the IDE module by itself does not seem to cause the problem).

Because of the hyperlink installed, Multi Cursor key is now CTRL + SHIFT + Mouse Click in windows. For me it's working. You can try on Mac CMD + SHIFT + Mouse Click
