What happens now

1. I enter select mode with v
2. I highlight some text
3. I delete it with d
4. I remain in select mode

What should happen

1. I enter select mode with v
2. I highlight some text
3. I delete it with d
4. I am automatically in visual mode

What happens now

In the video, I start selecting mid-way through line :53, then when I get to line :68 I press x. :68 gets selected to the end of the line.

What should happen

I would also expect :53 to be selected to the start of it's line when pressing x

If you use c-d / c-u to page down / up, it is added to the jumplist. You can see this by pressing c-o and c-i after paging.

Expected

Ctrl - w: deletes word in insert mode
Ctrl - u: deletes line in insert mode

Actual

Ctrl - w: shows window
Ctrl - u: something else

Temporary work around was to change the default keybindings of vscode to corresponding actions like
delete word left : ctrl- w
delete all left: ctrl-u

Hope this will be made as default in future releases

Hi, I've tried to list some differences with Helix:

• "%" doesn't select the whole file in normal mode but insert a "%" instead.
• the match inside "mi" and match around "ma" doesn't support parameters:
  • "m" : Closest surrounding pair to cursor

Do you if support for tree sitter grammar is possible?
With that we could use the following command in match and Unimpaired mode.

• "t" : Type Definition
• " f" : Function
• "a" : Argument/parameter
• "c" : Comment
• "T": Test

I don't use that feature, so, I have that disabled in my settings, however, by using this plugin I don't find a way to properly disable that feature

It's quite bothersome as it flickers the editor when I'm in insert mode as that mode doesn't render the numbers.

Any idea is welcome!

it would be nice if ?D would show problems in the file like in Helix LSPDiagnostics

are there any plans to add this functionality to the extension?
ref: https://helix-editor.com/news/release-24-03-highlights/

Pressing <home> or <end> should just move the selection. Instead it widens from the current position to the beginning or end of the line.

In Helix:

ihello world<esc><home>d -> ello world

In Dance - Helix:

ihello world<esc><home>d -> empty buffer

I think I prefer the current behavior, but it doesn't correspond with helix's behavior, so I guess it's a bug.

In helix I have

[keys.insert.j]
k = "normal_mode" # Maps `jk` to exit insert mode

Any hint to how I can do the same here?

Hello @Silverquark ,

Could you please tell us what's the maintenance status of this repo?

If you don't have the willingness or the time to maintain this repo, are you open to new maintainers?

I don't expect this package to implement all of helix's colon menu tools, but things like :w would be very nice just due to muscle memory

I would like to use this extension on VScodium too.
Since it uses a different registry you should publish it under https://open-vsx.org.
Let me know if this is doable or if I can give you any help.

Thanks in advance.

In Helix, there's an expand_selection (shrink_selection) command, which expands (shrinks) selection to parent syntax node. The equivalent command in VS Code editor.action.smartSelect.expand can be – if one changes some keybindings – made to behave quite like in Helix.

However, there's a glitch in VS Code that expand command with this extension installed expands selection to parent syntax node plus one extra character after the selection due to the fact that the cursor which is placed after the selection is one character wide and it is also part of the selection. This causes probems when you want to change/delete the selected portion of code
