Selecting text with mouse or cmd+arrow keys should switch to visual mode

[nosami]

As right now, it's a little confusing if you make a selection outside of XSVim and things don't work.

I vote No on this.

I pair with many people who don’t know VIM. I tell them “Just press i”, and they are back to what they know.

@shirshov: Vim supports mouse selections :)

[bysameng]

I definitely vote Yes.

In all other of the Vim implementations I use (VsVim, MonoDevelop Vi Mode, vim itself...), I will frequently select something with my mouse, and then hit X to delete the selection and pull it into the clipboard.

In XSVim, when I select something with my mouse and then hit X, it only deletes and pulls the one character under the cursor.

@ssameng I'll take another look at this. I almost had it working.

Thanks for taking a look--wondering what the status is on this?

I look through the release notes every time XSVim is updated to check if this is fixed :P

[nosami]

@ssameng I'll try and get to it soon.. I don't think it's much work. It's just that other things have priority right now such as VSMac 8.1 support... and then support for the new editor.

..... and I get precious little spare time to work on this :)
