How can I reverse selection in VsVim?

I want to reverse selected text in VsVim in VS2022.

For instance: asdfg to gfdsa

I have tried Reverse selected text and this solution. But these measures made my selection replaced by c. If I secelct the text visually first, and type :set revins, I will get an error: No range allowed.

Is there any neat way to reverse selection?

Solution

  • You are not using Vim. You are using a partial re-implementation of Vim so there is no reason whatsoever to expect anything that works in Vim to work the same in that extension.

    Case in point, VsVim doesn't support the revins option so there is no point in even trying random internet solutions that depend on it. Moreover, VsVim doesn't support vimscript either so a working Vim-only solution like:

    c<C-r>=split(@",'\zs')->reverse()->join('')<CR>

    is useless to you.
