Delete selection functionality (using DEL)

[refmitchell]

In Emacs default, highlighting a selection then pressing the DEL key deletes the entire selection. In the current EmacsKeys, it deletes only the first character as if I'd pressed C^d. Currently I have to C^w to cut the text but I'd like to keep my clipboard clean.

Edit:
I installed the version from: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JustinClareburtMSFT.EmacsEmulation#overview

This is also a problem when selecting something, and pasting over it to replace it. Expected behavior would be that selected text gets removed and replaced, observed is that the pasted text is appended after the selected text, which remains.

Are there workarounds for this? I've tried changing Del/Suppr bindings to Visual Studio's defaults rather than the new ones provided by the extension, but I feel it's something different with how selected text behaves..

I'm thinking if the key bind issues Edit.EmacsDeleteSelection followed by a normal Del of Bskpace we would get the expected behavior.

Justin Clareburt has jumped ship from Microsoft to Google so we may be SOL there. @zbrad are you still active with this project?

TTimo@62ef612 - going to use this for a while, seems to behave the way I want now.
