Hallelujah, Qt Creator Vim mode is fixed!

I just couldn't take it any more!  There were three things that I found absolutely unacceptable with the Qt Creator FakeVim mode--you couldn't paste over text, you couldn't exit visual mode by hitting 'v', and the search result color was a horrible yellow background with yellow foreground, rendering the search results unreadable.

I downloaded the source and fixed the bloody thing myself.  W00T!!!

    Are those changes in a recent version? The paste-over thing drives me insane.

    I suppose I should check that in. I downloaded the source and just edited my local copy. Until then, you can download the source, and just replace src/plugins/fakevim/fakevimhandler.cpp with the one I've placed here:

    Okay, I've sent it to Qt. Hopefully, they'll do something with it.
