       [Resolved]I think I'm being a tad stupid here ? How do I select text in vi or nvi not vim if it has no visual mode using just the keyboard ? Everything I search just gives me vim results.

       @justine Iirc they don’t have a visual mode but you work only with movement-commands etc2wy - yanks the next two words:2,5d - delete lines 2-5

       Got it now. So I can select from the cursor to the end of the line with `y$'. Perfect !CC: @nielsk@mastodon.social

       @justine @nielsk How else would you do it? I think my vi knowledge doesn't include many (any?) vim-isms
