[Closed] Question about Names for some color options.
howardpc:
I would think main caret refers to the usual editor caret, and other carets refers to the use of multiple carets (which functionality I use very often, thank you so much for implementing this, Martin, I expect it represents hours of careful work).
I echo the remark about the rarity of the word "caret" in general English usage. While caret is technically correct, I think "cursor" would be much more readily understood by newcomers.

TBTTIWIAT = the blinking thing that indicates where I am typing

From where I sit, caret is usually the ^ symbol but its also used in place of the word cursor. I personally recognized its use immediately. So, its not that confusing IMHO. And just a touch better than TBTTIWIAT

main caret = the blinking cursor in the editor
other carets = other cursors (eg arrow) otherwise no idea.

Hi!
Other carets:
Maybe for multi-line editing in synedit!?
