Hmm, favorite operations… lets see: Ctril-O/I (:he jumplist), g;/, (:he changelist), regex find/replace

From manual. “Since CTRL-V is used to paste, you can’t use it to start a blockwise Visual
selection. You can use CTRL-Q instead.”

Which are your favourite operations with vim? Something that makes a painful task a lot faster. I like “*/#” for searching.

I’ve also joined the vim list. It was just laziness that I didn’t joined it earlier. But your post acted as trigger.

A quick question. The Ctrl-V for column selection doesn’t work on windows as Ctrl-V is paste there. I’m moving to a Windows laptop at office. So such minor missing functionalities may irritate me.

(I’ve love Ctrl-V column selection as I’ve impressed quite a few people with that.)
