Description

Describe the bug
VScode shortcut "alt+mouse_select" does not work correctly in insert mode

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior: For eg. in the following code block, I'd like to change the 3 "manualToPort" to "forceToPort" by only one operation. As far as I know, vim cannot do this. So I use vscode shortcut.

<div class='ui-grid-col-4'><label for='manualToPort'>my label</label></div>
<div class='ui-grid-col-8'><input pInputText id='manualToPort' [(ngModel)]='aps.manualToPorf'/></div>
  1. press "i" to switch to insert mode
  2. press and select the 3 words
  3. sometimes I can successfully select all of them and do things I want to, but most of time I cannot select anything, the cursor just move with my mouse without selecting items

Expected behavior
work like if I unable VSCodeVim

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.16.0
  • VSCode version: 1.48.2
  • OS: Windows10

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the Alt+mouse selection failure in VSCode 1.48.2 on Windows 10 with VSCodeVim 1.16.0 and the listed insert-mode settings; done means selection works reliably in insert mode as it does when VSCodeVim is disabled.
