Description
Describe the bug
In the new version of insert mode, when you use the expand-region extension's shortcut Ctrl+w or (other shortcut keys are the same) to select a word, it will automatically switch to visual mode.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install expand-region
- The editor switches to Insert Mode
- Press Ctrl+w to select a word
- The editor automatically switches to Visual Mode
Even set useCtrlKeys false and handleKeys <C-w> false, same above.
Expected behavior
Don't automatically switch to visual mode, as older version.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version:1.17.0
- VSCode version:1.48.2
- OS:win10

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the expand-region extension, VSCodeVim 1.17.0, VS Code 1.48.2, and the stated Ctrl+w or equivalent keybinding sequence. Compare Insert Mode behavior with the older version and verify that selecting a word no longer switches the editor to Visual Mode, including when useCtrlKeys and handleKeys are disabled.
