Hello, There is a thread on StackOverflow labelled
"How to get visually selected text in VimScript" The naive and stable approach would be let old_reg = @v normal! gv"vy let raw_search = @v let @v = old_reg return raw_search but that only works if `set nosecure`. If `set secure` then the functions become involved. I posted my own take at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1533565/how-to-get-visually-selected-text-in-vimscript/28398359#28398359 but it handles neither block-wise selections nor multibyte columns. A function that supports both is for example given at https://github.com/haya14busa/vim-asterisk/blob/4fda3a4d90926512fbb10eda8b7b0491c650eb5e/autoload/asterisk.vim#L163 Is there a simple solution at all?
