<p>Accessed by typing <code>v</code> in <a href="#normal-mode">normal mode</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Select mode echoes Normal mode, but changes any movements to extend
|
|
selections rather than replace them. Goto motions are also changed to
|
|
extend, so that <code>vgl</code>, for example, extends the selection to the end of
|
|
the line.</p>
|
|
<p>Search is also affected. By default, <code>n</code> and <code>N</code> will remove the current
|
|
selection and select the next instance of the search term. Toggling this
|
|
mode before pressing <code>n</code> or <code>N</code> makes it possible to keep the current
|
|
selection. Toggling it on and off during your iterative searching allows
|
|
you to selectively add search terms to your selections.</p>
