Description

@plexigras

I run into issues arising from the fact that you can only run commands on lines and not on the actual selection quite frequently and since I could not find an issue about it I thought I would make one.

For example see how wv$:s/./\?/g behaves differently than wv$r? or how w!$ is the same as doing !!.

There is also a short entry in the todo file about this.

vim/runtime/doc/todo.txt

Lines 3696 to 3697 in 4c5d815

- Add COLUMN NUMBERS to ":" commands ":line1,line2[col1,col2]cmd". Block
can be selected with CTRL-V. Allow '$' (end of line) for col2.
