Editor automatically switch to Visual mode when use expand-region extension.

[sharkrice]

Describe the bug In the new version of insert mode, when you use the expand-region extension's shortcut Ctrl+w or (other shortcut keys are the same) to select a word, it will automatically switch to visual mode.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install expand-region
2. The editor switches to Insert Mode
3. Press Ctrl+w to select a word
4. The editor automatically switches to Visual Mode

Even set useCtrlKeys false and handleKeys \<C-w> false, same above.

Expected behavior Don't automatically switch to visual mode, as older version.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version:1.17.0
• VSCode version:1.48.2
• OS:win10

You are creating a selection so Vim changes to visual mode. Whenever you're working with a selection you should be in visual mode. That's how normal Vim works as well.

If you want to replace that region you just selected with something else you just press c (change) and start typing whatever you want. If you want to copy that region press y and the same applies to everything else.

What did you want to do with that region selection?
