Vim: Multiple cursors issue

[wildeyes]

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

What happened:

1. Insert following text into buffer

asdfasdf:
asdfasdffasd:
afsd:

1. Go into insert mode, select colon.
2. press ctrl-d.
3. 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

+1 Having this issue as well.

Also - could be related

1. Add this into buffer

asdfasdf:
asdfasdffasd:
afsd:
asdfasdf:
asdfasdffasd:
afsd:

1. Go into insert mode and place the cursor to the left of the top-left-most a
2. Do multi-select using Control+Shift+Down, 5 times
3. Expected: cursor should be in front of the text on every line. Actual: cursor can only go down to line 3.

This is not an issue if I disabled Vim mode.

Same problems as above, cannot create more than 3 cursors using keyboard combinations, and also cannot select text.

Is there is a way to disable this feature?

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.

[trkoch]

Ever when disabling <D-d> in vim.handleKeys, <Cmd-D> still triggers multi cursor mode.

[Jawsingale]

Needs to be an option to disable multi-cursor.
