What is the output of the following commands?
:set keymodel?
Most probably you are sourcing mswin.vim. This file has the following
line, which changes the default 'keymodel' option setting:
:behave mswin
Try the following command:
:behave xterm
After executing the above command, you should be able to use the
arrow keys to extend the visual selection.
With the default setting for the 'keymodel' option, you can use the
arrow keys to extend the visual selection.
