Visual Mode

Visual mode is used to make selections of text, similar to how clicking and dragging with a mouse behaves. Selecting text allows commands to apply only to the selection, such as copying, deleting, replacing and so on.

• v to enter visual mode, this will also mark a starting selection point
• V to enter visual mode, this will make text selections by line
• <C-v> to enter visual block mode, this will make text selections by blocks; moving the cursor will make rectangle selections of the text
