Description
Issue Type: Bug
Cmd+D works as expected in normal mode.
However, in insert mode, it doesn't add a selection for the next match but just adds a cursor at the end of the match instead. It looks like it selects the whole match, but then the selection is lost again and just the cursor remains.
First part of the gif shows how it works without the extension, second part with the extension:
Default values for vim.useCtrlKeys and vim.handleKeys.
Extension version: 1.0.1
VS Code version: Code 1.30.2 (61122f88f0bf01e2ac16bdb9e1bc4571755f5bd8, 2019-01-07T22:48:31.260Z)
OS version: Darwin x64 18.2.0

Research direction
Start by reproducing Cmd+D in insert mode with the reported default vim.useCtrlKeys and vim.handleKeys settings, then trace the key handling and selection behavior. Done means the next matching word remains selected in insert mode, as it does in normal mode.
