I think this is a duplicate of #1311. However what I find strange is that you have "vim.handleKeys": {"<C-d>": false} which is a workaround for this issue but results in #1467 nonetheless, hence not really solving the problem of multi-cursor functionality in insert mode.

The problem with implementing this is that in order to do a ctrl+d, vscode needs to select the word first.

However, for us, selecting a range necessarily puts us into visual mode (I think). It's fairly trivial to enable D-d in insert mode, but that would drop you into visual mode.

I'll try to find a solution, but it might be difficult.

This still doesn't work for me.

Without vim (as expected):

With vim (only adds selection to the whole word):

@binarious That's a bit different of an issue. Could you open up another issue for that?

Ok, done: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues/1705

this solution works if you have vim installed
