The regular visual is the last keybind from vi I learned to use and i for me would prefer it, 'cause it's one key to be pressed. My mind is very impaired for this use case, and suggests only one alternative: sam or teco addressing. More on this: I don't remember how that works in TECO, but in sam (and acme) you can execute verbs on an address that matches a character range. For example, imagining we are editing this email I'm sending with this patched sandy, :#855,#859d would delete the word 'sandy'. -- Teodoro Santoni
