Hi , I am using this plug most for block choose in OneNote, but when i change into Visual mode and use ctrl+v to choose the block, it still asc as paste function. is there any way to act ctrl + v as the same as in Vim?

I'm sorry but block-wise select is not possible on apps other than vim, then it is not mapped in vim_ahk.

You can disable "paste" at Visual mode by changing "Disable unused keys in the normal mode" as "3" in vim ahk settings.

It is welcome any idea to realize "block-wise" select!

Hi rcmdnk, In daily onenote using i using ctrl + mouse left select the content to simulate the 'block-select' I have a idea in some mode whether we can use alt or ctrl+Arrow(up/down/left/right) to achieve the ctrl + mouse left select upload a gif

I tried on OneNote app version 2412 (build 18324.20168) (Windows11), but Ctrl + mouse does not work.

How did you get working block select function?

Ah, I got it. To select multiple block, I shold release after each block selection.

It may need to implement something like:

• Get cursor position on OneNote in the monitor, and move the mouse cursor there
• Ctrl-Down and mouse click (keep their down)
• Define character width (could be taken from OneNone's information...? though, most of fonts have different width for different characters...) and move the mouse cursor 1 width by l or any movement keys.
• Need to remember how many characters it moves.
• When d or any line change command comes, release mouse, and change the line, move back number of characters moved above, then click down, move forward the same number of characters
• If h or any backward key is pushed,...

Although it is interesting and it may be possible, I'm sory but I cannot make enough time for it.
