Use shift to select text in Vi mode

[volt4ire]

Is there a way to have the Vi mode complex modifiers be used to select text while shift is held down? For example, I would love to be able to press ⌃+⇧+h to select the character to the left, like pressing shift and the left arrow key does. Being able to hold ⇧+⌥+h to select all the preceding characters in the current word and ⇧+fn+h to select the preceding characters in the paragraph like ⇧+⌥+← and ⇧+fn+← do respectively would make this even better. Thanks!

That's an interesting idea. I've done it by simulating the visual mode in vim. You can check the new version of Vi Mode now.

Thanks for the quick update! I can't seem to get the Vi Mode rev 4.1 to select text, however. When I press the trigger key (⌃) +⇧+h/j/k/l to select text, nothing happens. Am I invoking the trigger incorrectly?

The trigger key is either S or D depending on the rule you choose. There's no control or shift involved.

Just press S + V + H or D + V + H to see the result.
