After your first Cmd+C the selection is cleared. Don't know if this behavior can be toggled via a setting.

@morriswchris I cannot reproduce this on a default installation of VSCode. Does this reproduce for you when disabling extensions that take over input like e.g. vim ?

[morriswchris]

@alexandrudima you are correct facepalm. I should have tried disabling vim first.

Well actually I use Vim too so it repros for me. I guess you can file an issue on VSCodeVim to treat y and cmd+c differently.

VSCodeVim has actual filed an issue with VSCode (#217) to address this as well. As a work around then mention setting "vim.overrideCopy" to false, which has seemed to solve the issue for me
