Re: :set selectmode

When using gvim, I am used to being able to select some text with the mouse and then just start typing to replace it, as is standard for most Windows application, and as is normal in Visual Studio.

In my _vimrc, this functionality is enabled with this line
set selectmode=mouse,key

I see that selectmode is not implemented for viemu.  Is there any way I can still have this functionality while using viemu?

Re: :set selectmode

Porteiro, indeed, this functionality is not implemented in ViEmu, as it is unusual functionality for most vi/vim users. The standard way to do this is to type 'c' (change) to delete the visual-selection text and start typing, which is what I suggest. Hopefully that is a usable workaround!
