Environment:

• VSCode Version: 1.13.1
• VsCodeVim Version: 0.8.6
• OS: fedora 25 4.11.3-200.fc25.x86_64

What happened:

I have comma separated line like a,b,c. I want to split each char into a line using:

V
:s/,/\r/g

But the actual output is
a\rb\rc

It works in vim 8.0

What did you expect to happen:
Each part separated by comma is in a line. Expected output is:

a
b
c

How to reproduce it:

I think this is caused by microsoft/vscode#29238

@samsong8610 Is this with or without neovim integration?

[xconverge]

Actually the command seems to work fine WITH neovim integration, it does not work correctly (as reported here) WITHOUT neovim integration

Neovim integration is just syncing the editor? How is it getting the output of the command and setting it in the current editor? I assume it is not using the same replace text call..

@Chillee It is without neovim integration.

@xconverge Neovim integration just allows us to run the command within neovim. So if it works in Neovim it should work in VSCode (with a couple exceptions).

@samsong8610 I'd suggest adding the neovim integration if you want this feature. Although we'll keep this open and may fix it, things that work with neovim integration will tend to have lower priority.
