Vim block select mode does not work
Describe the bug
In vim, block selection mode can be entered by typing CTRL + V. Enabling vim mode in marimo, this command does not enter block selection mode, but rather puts the cursor to the last position in the current cell. It would be great to be able to use block selection mode.

We use https://github.com/replit/codemirror-vim - it is possible that this plugin does not support block-selection
I've run into this issue as well; it looks like that plugin does in fact support visual-block selection: https://github.com/replit/codemirror-vim/blob/59c44ef2909506836bb1fd2f81c738e35b29a4aa/src/vim.js#L215
@anjiro great that you looked this up. It indeed does and also it supports block selection with CTRL + Q, which I just tried out and it works. Is it simply possible that marimo overwrites the CTRL + V shortcut? If possible, it would be great if that could be turned off, for example as a user setting
@anjiro, @michaelsch71 thank you for investigating. I don't see that we override ctrl-v anywhere specifically, but it could be from a plugin. I can investigate and try to give Vim precedence
@michaelsch71 - what version are you on? i think this was regressed and then added back
Thanks! I was on 0.11.0. I just upgraded to 0.11.9 and there it works again nicely.
