There is no VISUAL LINE and VISUAL BLOCK

[dwarf-of-ignorance]

Summary

pressing key shift+v and ctrl+v does not goes to VISUAL LINE and VISUAL BLOCK mode

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. hx
2. shift+v
3. ctrl+v

I expected this to happen:

for shift+v : selects the entire line till the end of the line
for ctrl+v : selects the block

Instead, this happened:
nothing

VISUAL LINE mode can be imitated by putting V = ["select_mode", "extend_to_line_bounds"] in config file. Would be better if it was built in.
