Re: delete last character of multiple lines

> but can you please explain what exactly does :'<,'> means?

That's a range as defined by two marks, the

'<

mark (meaning the starting line of a visual selection)

,

through the

'>

mark (meaning the ending line of a visual selection).

Vim supports an incredibly powerful declaration of ranges which you
can read about at

:help :range

which allows for absolute and relative addressing, including relative
to previous addresses such as

:1/CHAPTER/+2,$?APPENDIX?-3

which starts on line 1, searches forward for "CHAPTER", then moves
forward 2 lines from there to start the range, and then starts at the
bottom of the file ("$"), searches backwards for "APPENDIX", and then
moves 3 lines back from that match.
