Problem description

Switching from visual mode to insert mode is awkward, since you have to go through normal mode, and even a bit confusing, since hitting i, a, etc., in visual mode has the effect of changing the cursor, but leaves you in visual mode.

Reproduction steps

1. In insert mode, hit Esc then v to enter visual mode
2. Hit i, the cursor changes
3. type ia, no input is entered
4. hit l, a letter is selected to the right

Expected behavior

i, a, etc., should go straight into insert mode, deselecting selected text (if any)

Hi @TxHawks,

The behavior is that it should keep in the visual mode after typing ia sequence in real VIM accordingly.

Thanks & Regards

I stand corrected. Thanks
