Vim: gU/gu does not work in visual mode

[sobjornstad]

Describe the bug
As stated, these commands do not work in visual mode, visual line mode, or visual block mode. They function fine in normal mode, and ~ functions fine in visual mode. Nothing happens when the key sequence finishes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Press v and select some text, or select it with the mouse.
2. Press gU or gu.

Expected behavior
The text should become uppercase or lowercase, respectively.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.0.8
• VSCode version: 1.31.1
• OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.15063

Hi @sobjornstad,
Kindly try after selecting a text in visual mode just press u or U instead of gu or gU
it will lowercase and uppercase the words respectively. Hence works as expected.

Kindly refer the below document for more key bindings to switch cases. :)

Thanks for the reference; I didn’t know that just u or U could be used in visual mode.

However, I still think not accepting gU and gu is incorrect behavior, as stock Vim accepts those sequences as well.

Huh, I also didn't know you could use just u or U... Is there any reason you don't just support gu and gU too though? They don't appear to be taken.

I agree - there's no reason to not support both, since that's how vim behaves. This is an easy fix; I'll submit a PR tonight.
