If #12582 hasn't yet been released, I apologize, and you can close this.

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

On macOS:

• enable Vim mode
• make a selection with visual block mode
• indent (>) or outdent (<)
• repeat that action using the dot binding .

For me nothing happened, and my Zed becomes unresponsive for about 20 seconds.

Environment

Zed: v0.143.6 (Zed) OS: macOS 14.5.0 Memory: 16 GiB Architecture: aarch64

@silvenon I can reproduce that in visual block mode . does not work for > (when you select from top to bottom) because we don't restore the cursor position correctly in that case.

I am surprised that it's crashing zed for you. Do you have any custom keybindings or settings that might interfere?

Erm, I can't reproduce the bug anymore, indenting and outdenting is repeatable for me now 😮 Maybe something happened during upgrading Zed that broke that functionality for me previously, and now that I restarted it it works…? But you're not able to repeat it, so I don't know what's going on 😕

Still, here are my settings and keymap in case it helps:
