Re: Vimperator Digest, Vol 17, Issue 8

I just downloaded Awesome. Seems best. I suppose it will just compile
normally and be as a desktop environment I can choose at login. Fedora
doesn't seem to have any tiling window managers in its repositories.
I'm interested in vim incorporation, because in the terminal emulator
you can set it to vi-mode and use some vi commands, but the cursor
space is really limited. I always want to go backward and select text
from say a directory I just opened or listed but am forced to use a
mouse to copy paste or type it out. Maybe there is some way in
terminal to move the cursor back in a kind of visual or super caret
mode that allows keyboard browsing across the terminal buffer history.
I don't know...

sounds exactly what screen features:

C-a ESC enters visual mode, where you
move around like in vim: C-d, C-u, j,k,l,h.

SPACE/Enter starts the selection and SPACE/ENTER ends the selection.
