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.
Place your cursor on the first character of the list item. Press Ctrl+v to enter visual block mode. The words VISUAL BLOCK will appear at the bottom of the screen. Use the Arrow keys to highlight the single character column.
Press v to begin character-based visual selection, or V to select whole lines, or Ctrl-v or Ctrl-q to select a block. Move the cursor to the end of the text to be cut/copied. While selecting text, you can perform searches and other advanced movement. Press d (delete) to cut, or y (yank) to copy.
Pressing $ will select to the end of each line.
Also, if you :set virtualedit+=block you will be able to move the cursor past the end of the line when in visual block mode.
