One beacon per line

[trev-dev]

Here's a problem I solved pretty easily with multiple-cursors that took a bit more effort fiddling with beacon-mode:

From this:

(defvar td/custom-meow-states `((normal . ,(propertize
                                            "N" 'face 'all-the-icons-yellow))
                                (motion . ,(propertize
                                            "M" 'face 'all-the-icons-blue))
                                (keypad . ,(propertize
                                            "K" 'face 'all-the-icons-cyan))
                                (insert . ,(propertize
                                            "I" 'face 'all-the-icons-maroon))
                                (beacon . ,(propertize
                                            "B" 'face 'all-the-icons-red))))

To this:

(defvar td/custom-meow-states `((normal . ,(tdm/meow-face
                                            "<N>" 'all-the-icons-yellow))
                                (motion . ,(tdm/meow-face
                                            "<M>" 'all-the-icons-blue))
                                (keypad . ,(tdm/meow-face
                                            "<K>" 'all-the-icons-cyan))
                                (insert . ,(tdm/meow-face
                                            "<I>" 'all-the-icons-maroon))
                                (beacon . ,(tdm/meow-face
                                            "<B>" 'all-the-icons-red))))

Here's how I was able to do it:

Now, I was fortunate here because I could easily pick 1 of 2 unique characters on one line.

How would you solve this if a single, unique character on common lines is not available?

In BEACON state, press line two times, you got beacons for each two lines.
Then start kmacro with F3, edit, then finish recording with F4.
