Vim Screencast: Selections
August 28th, 2008
This is a relatively short screencast on a few different ways to select text in Vim. Vim’s visual mode is a very powerful feature of the editor which allows you to select data in different, yet meaningful, ways.
The screencast goes over normal visual mode, visual block mode, and text object selection. The relevant helpfiles are:
:h visual-mode :h v_b_i :h text-objects
As a developer, its as important to know your editor as well as a carpenter knows his hammer. I’ve also uploaded the video to ShowMeDo, but thought a likely less compressed version may suit some. Enjoy!
