visual-mode.kak

visual-mode.kak adds two user modes that emulate the visual modes of vim. The visual-mode command enters visual mode, and the visual-line-mode command enters line-wise visual mode. Both take a single argument: the key press you bound to it.

Visual block mode was not implemented because the selection copy command with C covers this functionality.

Installation (plug.kak)

plug "https://gitlab.com/dead10ck/visual-mode.kak" demand visual-mode %{
    map global normal v ': visual-mode v<ret>'
    map global normal V ': visual-line-mode V<ret>'
    map global normal <a-v> 'v'
    map global normal <a-s-v> '<s-v>'
    map global normal <a-s-v> '<s-v>'
}

This would remap view mode to make room for visual mode, but any binding should do.
