Bram please forgive my flippancy on IRC, I wasn't expecting my comments to be posted here verbatim. |

@puremourning sorry about that. |

Well, the help for "gr" says that you are supposed to type a character, but you type something that is a command in Insert mode. I can try to fix it anyway. |

Thank you. For the record, the patch fixes the case |

Steps to reproduce
Type
gr<C-o>orgr<C-g>from Normal mode. It enters Virtual Replace mode( same as if we had typedgR).Expected behaviour
I am not claiming the behavior is wrong. However I could not find documentation for the behavior.
Asking on the vim IRC channel I got the following input from @puremourning :
Version of Vim
9.0
Environment
Macs OS 13.2 on terminal.app, zsh
