Description

We have this really great test infrastructure, but it can't test selections yet.

Adding that functionality (and bonus points for porting over the visual mode tests to the new testing infrastructure) would be a great help!

Research direction
Examine the test infrastructure, likely in the 'test' directory of the VSCodeVim/Vim repository. Understand the current testing patterns by reviewing existing test files. Identify where visual mode tests would be added. Since there is an existing test suite, you may need to create new test files for visual mode covering various scenarios like blockwise selection.
