Originally created by @sagittarius89 on GitHub (Jan 2, 2024).

When using splitted screen in tmux or tabbed vim, I encounter an issue while selecting text in multiline blocks. Specifically, at the end of a line, the cursor jumps to the next tab or the next line placed in the previous tab. Therefore, I propose enabling vertical (or column) mode when selecting text using "mark mode" feature.

I believe there's a way to do this already! When you're in mark mode, you can activate the "Toggle block selection" command from the command palette (or bind toggleBlockSelection to a key in the settings). That'll switch the selection mode into "box selection" mode.

I suppose you could probably use a multipleActions action to both enter mark mode and immediately switch into block selection from one key chord.

Does that work for you/?

Indeed it works, but it was not obvious. Thanks a lot. I'm going to close ticket.
