Description
Hello,
In visual mode, I see the cursor right ahead of the selection. I find it rather confusing even with a thin cursor, especially when selecting blocks of code (see videos below). In neovim, I have a block cursor at the last selected character, which makes more sense to me.
Is it possible to have a setting that changes this ? Thank you in advance.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior in VSCodeVim's visual mode and trace the cursor rendering and settings entry points; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Done means a user-configurable option places the cursor on the last selected character, with coverage or verification for visual selections.
