Since we are both using :vmap and not :vnoremap, we are both
vulnerable to unexpected results from user-defined mappings.
If the user has 'insertmode' set, then <Esc> will go to Insert mode
rather than Normal mode, You can use <C-\><C-N> to be safe.
Your version can be abbreviated, if you keep your :map , to
:vmap <script> <C-S> <C-\><C-N><C-S>
Check the docs before relying on this, but IIRC :vmap and :vnoremap
behave the same if you add <script> .
Other than these minor differences, my original suggestion and
yours should do exactly the same things.
