This is a problem I am occasionally stumbling on: as I am done typing some new next in insert mode, I want to highlight and erase some text ahead of the insert point.
Best case, I can type: <ESC>lv But if I am at the end of the line, this won't work (the last character I inserted will be selected as well). It would be nice if there was a convenient way to go directly from insert mode to visual mode, while ensuring that the visual selection starts at the current insertion point. Is there an easy way to do so ? -- http://ivan.vecerina.com/
