Switch back to Selection Mode from Visual Mode #641

Closed cpadilla closed 3 years ago

cpadilla commented 5 years ago

I'd like to have the option to switch back to selection mode after entering visual mode. Hitting Escape returns back to insert mode. It would be nice if there was an option to change this behavior to go back to selection mode first.

Can't you just press "v" again? Example: ctrl-shift-space to get into selection mode v to enter visual mode select the text you want or do other stuff v to exit visual mode (you should be back into selection mode here)

Oh, I see. Yeah, I guess that works too. I'd still like to be able to edit the config to have Escape return to selection mode when in visual mode, just because I press Escape so often out of habit.

Is this possible with the existing config options in termite, or would this need to be implemented? Thanks.

amayer5125 commented 5 years ago

According to man termite.config there is no option to configure this functionality. You would need to add it yourself.

Termite is obsolete. Please use Alacritty instead. See https://github.com/thestinger/termite#termite-is-obsoleted-by-alacritty for more details.
