insertGt mapping interferes with blockwise-visual mode / should not leave insert mode

[blueyed]

The mapping for > setup by xmledit interferes with Vim's method of adding the same text via a blockwise visual selection.

Using <C-v>…I (Ctrl-v, selecting a region (e.g. the first column of multiple lines), then uppercase i), you can insert text and the visual selection will get replaced with it on each line after pressing Esc.

Given the mapping used by xmledit, the Esc in there aborts the insert process:

 inoremap <buffer> > <Esc>:call <SID>InsertGt()<Cr>

It would be nice, if the plugin would work without leaving insert mode (via Esc).

As a workaround, you can use <LocalLeader>> to insert the greater than sign.

I would be very happy if some suggestions on a fix were offered.

Off the top of my head converting InsertGt() to be <C-o> compatible and replacing the <Esc> with <C-o> might work. Anyone want to jump on preliminary Pull Request?

I've looked into it, but stopped when noticing that ParseTag would also need adjustments.
(the experimental ParseTag2 might be very helpful here).

As an alternative to <C-o> <C-r>= could also be used. This is what delimitMate uses for example.
