Re: Visual selection via :global

Hi folks, I have a markdown file containing a couple of headings and
some pointers as shown below.

```
# Heading 1
- pointer 1
- pointer 2
- pointer 3

## Heading 2
- pointer 4
- pointer 5
```

I wanted to visual select all pointers only. So what I did was
`:g/^-/normal V` but it only selects the last pointer (i.e. pointer 5).
Shouldn't it select all pointers?

Is this normal behaviour? And what am I missing here?

Also according to `:h :normal` while writing `:normal {commands}`,

{commands} cannot start with a space. Put a count of
1 (one) before it, "1 " is one space.

I did not quite get the meaning out of it. Can someone help me?

Thanks
