Hi,

I've only recently started using vsvim. Apart from this one issue (seen on two PCs, both running VS 2010 on Windows 7) it's been working very well.

I'd like to be able to hold down the Shift key and use the arrow keys to select text. When vsvim is running, the cursor moves but no selection occurs. (Shift+Home adds a selection for some reason, but Shift+End, Up, Down, Left, Right do not.) In the options, all my key bindings are set to Visual Studio.

If I use Ctrl+Shift+F12 to temporarily disable vsvim, Shift+arrows select text as expected. How can I get this behaviour when vsvim is enabled?

Thanks,
Matthew
