Hi
I'm using vsvim and have an issue with Ctrl-Y when Visual Assist is enabled. If I disable Visual Assist Ctrl-Y works as expected - in insert mode it copies characters from the line above. Ctrl-E always works (copies from below) but when Visual Assist is enabled Ctrl-Y does nothing.
I have nothing mapped to Ctrl-Y in tools->customize->keyboard nor in the Visual Assist keyboard mapping dialog.
Cheers
Rob

I was able to reproduce the problem using VSVim + VAssistX + VS2019. I see you're using VS2017.
I have put in a bug report for this:

| Is this the only shortcut where you're experiencing compatibility problem with Visual Assist? |

Nearly a year's gone by ...
is there any chance this will be looked at?
fwiw Ctrl+E works fine (does the same thing but from the line below)
cheers

We have looked at this, but its not quite clear where the problem is coming from. Both VA and VSVim are updating the IDE, so need to cooperate with each other, and any other extensions that are also altering how the IDE might work.
One of our developers did submit a code change to VSVim to try and fix the problem, but this was around the same time as the last release of VSVim. Have you tried building VSVim from source code, to see if this makes any difference? I am wondering if the changes made it into the current release of VSVim. |

Latest vsvim built from source still has the problem.
ctrl-E works, ctrl-Y doesn't - cursor doesn't even move
cheers

Ok it is detecting VS2019, and returning VANet16 from GetRegistryKeyName(VisualStudioVersion version)

Thank you for checking this. I have updated our bug report with this information.
For now, if you want to try and figure out what is going on in ViVim, it seems that the VA compatibility code is found here:
https://github.com/VsVim/VsVim/tree/master/Src/VsVimShared/Implementation/VisualAssist
and our developers have wondered if full VA compatibility was removed at some point.
As an alternative, have you considered trying ViEmu
http://www.viemu.com
I have just checked, and Ctrl-Y is working correctly in insert mode with ViEmu in VS2019 and VA 2389. |

heh yeah I do/did actually have a license for viemu but found that vsvim played a bit better with vax, + development on it seemd to have stopped.
I _can_ make do without ctrl-Y - it's not like that's the only thing I miss in vsvim compared to real vim
cheers

I suppose this is obvious but ctrl-y _does_ work when I'm not editing a source file (eg a .txt file)

| I found the same thing in my testing. But remember, both VA and viemu are trying to "change" how the IDE works, and on occasion moving the caret around due to inserting text that you have not directly typed into the editor. Plenty of room for conflicts, sad to say. |

yeah - it's just I get the impression that somehow vsvim never even sees the ctrl-y
I changed the impl of ctrl-y in the vsvim code to do what ctrl-E does, and that also didn't work. A somewhat blunt-edged test I know (my f-sharp/vsix debugging skills are 0) but to me that looks like va is intercepting ctrl-y and never passing it on
ps I assume you mean vsvim (not viemu)
cheers

Yes, vsvim, but the same point applies to viemu as well 
In your IDE settings:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard
have you looked to see if Ctrl-Y is mapped to anything? It is possible it is not reaching vsvim since the IDE is capturing it. On my system Ctrl-Y is mapped to "Edit.Redo" with global scope. Removing this key mapping might change what happens for you. |

| It's not mapped - worth double checking though |

I would not expect VA to capture Ctrl-Y unless it was mapped in the IDE keyboard shortcuts settings. Have you tried to work out where keyboard shortcuts are captured inside the extension?
I don't see why VA being active should stop the keyboard shortcut from registering, but I haven't looked at any of the code myself. |

what does VAssist do with Ctrl-Y
