Command to change which cursor is primary #135460

Description

@isidorn

When a user adds multiple cursors we nicely announce the locations for each additional cursors.
However the user can not check what is going on at the second / third cursor.

I thought it would be nice if the user could change which one is the primary cursor using a command. That way the user could traverse each of the cursors and be able to read the line on each cursor for example. Since for screen reader reading we only respect the primary cursor.

Now I am not sure if this is even possible from the implementation. Thus I am creating this issue for discussion.
I am also open for ideas.
