Undo leaves text highlighted in visual mode.

[jordwalke]

If you highlight text in visual mode and delete it, when you undo the text remains highlighted. In vim, undoing deletes won't leave the deleted text highlighted.

Correction, you don't even need to highlight text and then delete it - any kind of deletion has this problem

Using u to undo now won't select text any more...

Note that use ctrl+z to undo will still select text, because the application interpret ctrl+z before xvim has its chance. One way to overcome this is :

• bind the application's undo command to ctrl+shift+z
• Then map ctrl+z to u in xvim using the keymap stuff....

This sounds very reasonable

My bad, made a wrong statement.... The way to make ctrl+z not select text is : map ctrl+z to u, not ctrl+shift+z
