Which is the shortest way to select an entire line without the new line character in VIM?
I know that SHIFT + v selects the entire line, but with new line character.
To do this I go to the line and I press:
I also know that I can create a recording that does such a thing. But I am asking if is there any built-in shortcuts...

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.
A sequence of zero or more non- <newline> characters plus a terminating <newline> character. And, therefore, they all need to end with a newline character. That's why Vim always adds a newline by default (because, according to POSIX, it should always be there). It is not the only editor doing that.
Use \r instead of \n . Substituting by \n inserts a null character into the text. To get a newline, use \r . When searching for a newline, you'd still use \n , however.
I know that pressing 'o' in normal or visual mode moves the cursor to a new line and switches the mode to insert.
Yes, g_ is what you are looking for. g_ is like $, but without the newline character at the end.
Use 0vg_ or ^vg_, depending if you want to copy from the beginning of the line, or the first character on the line, respectively.
