thanks, that works (not as good as what i was hoping - a key
to press to stop select and then re-enable select but it's
better than my alternative :) ).

It's actually better than disjoint-selection for many of my use-cases. I can just make up patterns (as there's usually some textual commonality between the lines I want to skip/find) and Vim does the work for me. With disjoint selections, I would have to mark each one manually--sometimes this is a couple hundred sections in my use-cases. :-)
