Is there a way to visual select multiple pages in Vim?
When I press SHIFTV to enter selection mode, the keys h, j, k and l work to select more text, but page up and page down CTRLF and CTRLB exit out of the "select" mode.
FYI I am using GVIM on Windows 7.
Press Shift+V to enter line mode. The words VISUAL LINE will appear at the bottom of the screen. Use navigation commands, such as the Arrow keys, to highlight multiple lines of text. Once the desired text is highlighted, use commands to manipulate it.
If you want to select the entire line in a file, press V. Now when you press k or j to go up and down, vim will select the entire line above and below your cursor. Finally, you can select text in columns by pressing ctrl+v and moving up or down the block.
You can:
behave xterm
into your vimrc file, which makes Ctrlf and Ctrlb work as wellEven better, you can use / to search for something after SHIFTv and your lines will be selected till (and including) the next match.
It can be better, as you sometimes don't know what's on the next page.
