Visual Mode
Introduction to Visual Mode
Select text explicitly with v and leave with Escape.
Visual mode anchors one end of a characterwise selection while motions move the other. It is useful when a semantic object does not describe the range.
Use v, and Esc in the editor beside this lesson. The challenge proves it once; Practice is a timed run against the clock.

Practice against the clock.
The challenge proves completion once. Practice is a timed run of 15 goals — beat par, then beat your own best time. Every completed goal saves locally.
