Subject: Visually selecting multi-lines inside backticks

Hi, this is quite a stupid question but why doesn't backticks work for
multi-line selection via something like vi`

I have some blocks like

`
lorem ipsum
`

and I want to select whole inside the backticks. I am reading that ',",` are
only matched in the same lines.

Thanks

Hi Manas
there may be a niftier way, but I wd search for the backtick:

/`

then type V to go into Visual line mode, then n to search for the second tick.

Then you can type : if you are after a substitute command, or y to yank the marked material.
