At least that's how it happens on GTK2 gvim, and I can't see why MacVim would do it differently. Not knowing about Ctrl-G, I've often used gv to go from Select to Visual. -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!

Re: Manipulate selected text
It probably depends on selectmode then.. I think by default on Marin behavior it's only set to 'mouse', but I set it to all three (including 'cmd') before writing that. Even more reason for me to dislike the feature - too hard to tell what's going to happen ;) On Sep 30, 2011, at 8:44, Tony Mechelynck wrote: > On Sep 29, 6:26 pm, Kyle Lippincott wrote: >> This sounds an awful lot like select mode to me.
