I don't know if this is mentioned in the help.


According to ":help mode-switching", it is not possible to enter visual mode
from Ex or command-line mode. Either the table under ":help i_esc" needs
to be updated or this needs to be fixed.

According to that table, you can enter visual mode only from either normal or
select modes.

The following is possible:
   Q
   " enter Ex mode
   normal v
   normal eee
   " extend visual area
   visual
   " quit Ex mode, enter Visual mode

Hmm, seems the table needs an update.
Unfortunately, :visual is ambigious.
