Multiple cursors issue

See original GitHub issue

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one): BUG REPORT

What happened:

Insert following text into buffer

asdfasdf:
asdfasdffasd:
afsd:

Go into insert mode, select colon.
press ctrl-d.
VS Code Vim selects the second colon, but removes the selection around the colon, and using shift to reselect the colon to continue ctrl-ding to the third colon doesn’t work. It selects it and then deselects it.

What did you expect to happen: That shift would work properly.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Described above.

Environment:

Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 0.11.2 VSCode version:v1.21.1, commit 9a199d77 OS version:x64 on windows 10.

Happens the same for me on mac

Multi cursor in normal mode seems to be ok. but… I’m having issues with multi cursor when in insert mode! is not working as expected. It loses the ability to select text. Cmd+d shortcut does not work as expected.

My setup: Mac El Capitan 10.11.6 VSC 1.22.2 Vim: 0.11.5

I also find this very frustrating. As a VIM noob it would be very nice if multicursor worked as normal (regular vs-code) in insert mode.
