Feature suggestion: Replace visual mode with select mode

[Lassebq]

As of now the cursor in visual mode is a block and the bindings from Insert mode don't apply in it. (Such as <C-c> to copy <C-v> to paste and etc)
Might as well mention to add a <C-BS> binding to delete a word

That's a good point, there's no harm in adding keybindings for copy and paste in Visual mode. How do you get into Visual mode? I think the only easy is to click with the mouse?

I really like <C-BS> to delete a word, I notice that I don't have it setup, I think that must have been because TTY or Vim, I don't remember exactly, doesn't conventionally detect that combination?

[Lassebq]

Update: apparently vim should already have a bind to delete word by default and it's either <C-BS> or <C-w>
But seemingly because <C-w> is bound to close buffer in novim mode, <C-BS> also got remapped to that.

[tombh]

I'd love <C-BS> to work, I just don't remember why it doesn't. It could be BASH, ZSH, nvim, tmux or Alacritty. That particular key combination is tricky.

And regarding <C-W>, my philosophy for this plugin is that all conventional key bindings from other well-know applications, should work as expected. And <C-W> is pretty widely known to close tab-like things, hence why it closes buffers here.
