Stuck on an issue?

In `insert` mode, please allow for normal copy and paste functions.

See original GitHub issue

When I am in insert mode, if I wanted to simply highlight some text (using my mouse) and press ctrl+c, then suddenly I get put into normal mode and simply ctrl+v does not allow me to paste stuff when I have this extension.

I would like a hybrid mode where when I am in insert mode I am able to use it like a normal text editor while still having the shortcuts that vim provides.

As a result I had to uninstall the extension. Unless if there is a way to still use those normal copy and paste functions?
