How can I disable visual mode in IdeaVIM?

Question

I'm using PyCharm with the IDEAVim plugin. Whenever I highlight text in insert mode and hit backspace, my highlighted text just moves to the left more instead of deleting it.

What can I add to my .ideavimrc to disable visual mode and just delete text if I ever highlight text and hit backspace?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Currently it's not possible. Feel free to file a bug to IdeaVim's issue tracker.

Answer 2

You can remap backspace to d in visual mode.

Put vnoremap <BS> d in your .ideavimrc
