Background
I'm a religious fanatical devoted believer of vimium. It speeds up my internet usage like nothing else. I'm also (naturally) a heavy user of vim itself.
Question
How can I actually select a certain text in a screen using vimium without using a keyboard? For example let's say I got this email on the page mail@mail.com
. Is there a way i can for example search for that term first of all, then using vimium highlight the rest of the term as if I'm using a cursor?
so a more practical example
mailto@verycomplicatedandlonganduglydomainthatiwontsearachfor.com
so i simply search for mailto
, then as that gets highlighted, i can move the cursor to the end of the term or at least highlight one word at a time. Idas?
So basically, the answer is visual mode, plus
vi
-like word navigation shortcuts. – ijoseph – 2018-04-28T03:05:27.103This just changed my life... I used it to copy some summary text from a page, which I then pasted into a new bookmark. Now when I press "b", I can quick-find using bits of that summary text! – micahscopes – 2019-08-31T19:21:18.093
