Re: getpos()

When you do `:<C-U>` you effectively exit visual mode.

Instead try to use `xnoremap <F5> <cmd>echow getpos(".") getpos("v")<CR>`

Hi,

vim9script
vmap <F5> :<C-U>echo getpos(".") getpos("v")<CR>

When i select a visual area of text, i get the same coordinate reported for both
getpos(".") and getpos("v"). Why is that ?
