Visual Selection of Text lines

[bruparel]

The visual selection mode does not seem to work. I tried 'v' shift-v in the command mode to highlight characters and lines but did not work for me. Is that functionality missing? The documentation mentions visual mode several times so I am assumed that it works. If it is not available yet then what is the alternate way of selecting text in executing vim commands on the selected text?

Hey @bruparel. Thanks for filing the issue.

As we haven't yet implemented an pertinent commands or motions for visual mode (yank, paste, etc), I decided to remove the mode entirely in the last release.

@jpoon Thanks Jason. I really appreciate your work. For an "old" VIM user, this is a great gift. Please keep up the good work.

Fixed with #144

@jpoon This is awesome :) How do I update my VIM plugin? By regular update extensions command?

Very nice! I knew waiting would pay off!

[bruparel]

@jpoon I just updated my VIM extension and tested it. it works fine in character selection mode, i.e, "v' will put it in the visual selection mode. However, shift-v or control-v combinations do not work.

@bruparel yeah, those things are not implemented yet.

@trivoldus28 all kudos goes to @johnfn for his work.
