  I am using gvim 7.3 on Windows 7. I need to select the four x's in the following sample text. I positioned the cursor on the upper left 'x', then typed 'v' to enter visual mode. So far so good, but when I move the cursor to the lower right 'x' I lose the selection. How do I designate the selection area in visual mode?

When I use the arrows keys on Windows 7, I lose the selection.   However, hjkl works just fine.  I've never really bothered to figure out why, I just use it as a little reminder to keep my hand away from the arrow keys. :D

HTH,

Dan

You want CTRL-v, I think.
