Just a quick guess: maybe it depends on whether the paragraphs are actually just long lines (no line breaks) wrapped around using ":set wrap" (cancel by ":set nowrap"), or whether your paragraphs consist of lines individually terminated by line breaks?
AFAIK Shift-V selects a line, until a carriage return. Frank Rysanek On 14 Jun 2012 at 11:49, Eric Weir wrote: I swear I have been using 'Shift-V' to select paragraphs. This morning it's selecting only lines. I checked the Oualline book, and it seems selecting lines is right. What have I been doing then? It's got to be something with 'V'.
