Hello,
I'm finding that the behavior of trying to treat the character "under" the block cursor as "selected" without actually selecting it leads to some confusing interactions, a couple in particular I've run into with editor.action.addSelectionToNextFindMatch. In general, it also makes it confusing to interact with other vscode features/extensions that care about selected text.
For example if I wanted to change "old" in this text to "new" ( | represents cursor ):
In insert mode I would do ⌘-d ⌘-d n e w, but from normal mode, ⌘-d ⌘-d modalEditor.cut produces:
This can be accommodated with a command like "w" as defined in the preset that ends with "cursorLeftSelect". w ⌘-d modalEditor.cut works as expected (though non-modalEditor commands such as editor.action.transformToUppercase don't work).
However, if you instead start with your cursor after the 'd' of the first 'old' and try b ⌘-d modalEditor.cut you get:
I suspect vscode internally thinking of the cursor existing between characters means there's not a simple solution, but figured I'd ask just in case.
