Description

Hi
I have searched in multiple places, but I could not find an answer. I am using Quarto 1.3.450 with VS code remote to WSL2. The issue is that syntax highlight works fine for Quarto in source mode, but once I shift to the visual mode, I lose syntax highlighting.

I also can't use other customized keyboard shortcuts while on Quarto visual mode. For instance, F1 no longer works to get the R help window.

This might be a silly issue, but I really could not find a way to solve it.

Thanks

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Reproduce it with Quarto 1.3.450 in VS Code Remote to WSL2, comparing source and visual modes for syntax highlighting and the F1 R help shortcut; done means both work in visual mode.
