Vim: Visual Block Mode: Tab does not indent

[elithrar]

What did you do?

Highlighted a column of text in Visual Block mode - e.g.

(Ctrl+V + jjjj + tab - incidentally I'd expect 4j to work too, but it doesn't)

What did you expect to happen?

All rows to be indented.

What happened instead?

Only indented the first row.

Double-tapping space works.

Technical details:

• VSCode Version: Version 1.8.1 (1.8.1)
• VsCodeVim Version: 0.4.10
• OS: macOS Sierra - 10.12.2

This is not how Vim works, > is the command you are looking for (also takes a number if desired 3>

[elithrar]

You're right - I'd gotten so used to neovim/vim-sensible (which looks to correct this).

Given that - is there a way to replicate in VS Code?

You could probably use our remapping feature to remap <tab> to something like i<tab>.

FYI, native VSC shortcuts for indent are ⌘+] and ⌘+[ (CTRL instead of CMD on Windows/Linux) and it works in visual mode.
