Hi,
I'm trying to learn new vim habbits by
- not sourcing mswin.vim
- not setting behave mswin.
to migrate easier to linux.
I also start using the old-dos way again by copying, cutting and
pasting with ctrl-insert, shift-delete and shift-insert iso CTRL-C,
CTRL-X, CTRL-V, as these CTRL-keys are not always handeled the same on
a linux distro.
What I now miss is the SELECT-MODE.
Not sure if this is done in mswin.vim and behave mswin.
I used to select a part of a line by pressing shift and one of the
arrow keys.
It then showed SELECT-MODE, and what was selected you could easily cut
and past or copy and paste.
But currently shift-left or right moves to the next or previous word
Shift-up and shift-down moves a file up or down one screen.
Unclear where these mappings are done, are these default vim mappings?
Anyway, how can I map shift-arrow keys as is used in SELECT-MODE?
Or any other suggestion for a smarter way is also very welcome.
Rgds,
Eric

You can use the "v" key to enter visual mode. Then the normal hjkl
movements to select the text you would like.
shift-v will select by entire line. ctrl-v will enter visual block mode.
You can also select text components like aw - a word, iw - inner word,
as - a sentence, ap - a paragraph.
see :help visual.txt "there is also an entry about 'Select-mode'
which may be more what you want.
Hope this helps.
