Visual mode exits when selecting lines down with evil-escape-key-sequence 'jk' #79

Open stevensona opened 7 years ago

With evil-escape-key-sequence set to "jk", in visual mode, I can't hold 'j' to select multiple lines because it exits visual mode. Highlighting lines up works as expected.

On spacemacs develop branch.

if you are only pressing j and not k this bug is probably still valid. I just put that in my config because i only really want jk or kj to get me out of insert mode and not from all the other ancillary modes.

I've experienced an opposite issue using doom-emacs: after remapping evil-escape-key-sequence to 'fd' (useful to left-handed people) there isn't a straight way to force exiting the visual mode with the escape sequence. Have found that 'visual is in the evil-escape-excluded-states by default. So adding the following snippet resolves my issue:

(after! evil-escape
  (setq evil-escape-key-sequence "fd")
  ;; Allow to escape from the visual state as from insert.
  (delete 'visual evil-escape-excluded-states))
;;
