Description

Testing #180678

  1. Create a few multiple cursors
  2. Run Show or Focus Standalone Color Picker
  3. Click Insert

🐛 The color only gets inserted in one cursor. I expected it to be inserted across all cursors.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the standalone color picker insertion logic in VS Code. The issue is that inserting a color only affects one cursor instead of all. Look at the color picker source in `src/vs/editor/contrib/colorPicker/` and understand how `Insert` works. The bug likely involves missing multi cursor handling in the insertion command. Check if there's a related PR or existing code that handles multi cursor for other commands.
