Visual (original) (raw)
Add, subtract regions
You can create regions from visual selections, and subtract visual selections from current regions (clearing them).
As usual, leader- is your g:VM_leader (default \\).
| leader-a | add visual selection |
|---|---|
| leader-s | subtract visual selection |
| leader-r | reduce to visual selection |
| leader-c | create cursors column |
When adding regions, depending on the type of visual selection, different types of regions are created:
| v | single region, can be multiline |
|---|---|
| V | one region x line, not multiline |
| C-v | one region x line, starts block mode |
Create cursors
You can create a cursor column from a visual selection, with leader-c
If visual mode is v, starting column will be conserved. If it's V, cursors will be created at column 1.
Find operator, find by regex
You can press leader-f to find the current patterns/last search in the visual selection.
With leader-/, you can start a regex search that will select all matches inside the visual selection.
In both cases, if using visual-block, only the matches inside the block will be accepted:
