Description
Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one): BUG REPORT
What happened:
- Insert following text into buffer
asdfasdf:
asdfasdffasd:
afsd:
- Go into insert mode, select colon.
- press ctrl-d.
- VS Code Vim selects the second colon, but removes the selection around the colon, and using shift to reselect the colon to continue
ctrl-ding to the third colon doesn't work. It selects it and then deselects it.
What did you expect to happen:
That shift would work properly.
How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Described above.
Environment:
Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 0.11.2
VSCode version:v1.21.1, commit 9a199d77
OS version:x64 on windows 10.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in VSCode Vim using the listed three-line buffer and the insert-mode Ctrl-D and Shift steps on the stated VS Code and extension versions. Done means Shift preserves or reselects the colon correctly so Ctrl-D can continue selecting the third colon.
