Selecting a block of text in Visual mode
Put your cursor at the beginning of your text and type a v. Now navigate to the end of the block you want to select. (You should see the text highlighted in vim.)
If you want to copy that text for pasting, type a y. To delete or cut the text, type a d. To paste the text your copied or cut, type a p.
