Yes, I meant :[range]. I was being consistent with the synatx in the subject of the email, although the body of the OP used :<nr>. > you seem to imply by "but I've seen other people try" that it's not a kosher > movement. Not that it isn't a kosher movement, but that (I don't think) it should be a valid method to extend the range of a visual selection. As I stated in my earlier email, changing to cmdline mode ends visual mode. Also, I guess Christian isn't intending to solely extend the selection to that specific line, otherwise changing the ":'<,'>" command line to ":'<,1500" would be sufficient.
