patch 9.0.1915: r_CTRL-C works differently in visual mode
Problem: r_CTRL-C works differently in visual mode
Solution: Make r_CTRL-C behave consistent in visual mode
in terminal and Windows GUI
in visual mode, r CTRL-C behaves strange in Unix like environments. It
seems to end visual mode, but still is waiting for few more chars,
however it never seems to replace it by any characters and eventually
just returns back into normal mode.
In contrast in Windows GUI mode, r_CTRL-C replaces in the selected area
all characters by a literal CTRL-C.
Not sure why it behaves like this. It seems in the Windows GUI, got_int
is not set and therefore behaves as if any other normal character has
been pressed.
So remove the special casing of what happens when got_int is set and
make it always behave like in Windows GUI mode. Add a test to verify it
always behaves like replacing in the selected area each selected
character by a literal CTRL-C.
