VISUAL with vim shortcuts #44

Open mscott99 opened 2 years ago

mscott99 commented 2 years ago

I like the VISUAL idea for editing previously written latex. However it is easier to select text while in vim mode. Would there be a way to use the selection performed in vim mode?

I am not sure of what exactly this would look like.

Best,

Matthew

Yep, this is definitely possible. I'll try to fix this in one of the next releases.

I think it's a great idea. Are there any plans to implement this soon?

The issue, I think comes from the fact that vim doesn't really support doing a visual selection then going into insert mode (without losing the selection), so right now you can only select normally using mouse or shift+arrow keys. Not exactly sure what a workaround would look like.

Best, Ryan
