no - there's no predefined key to do this.
A quick look at the code shows that functionality is implemented in a
private function release_selection(), that's called as a side-effect of
qq (selecting an empty region). We could make that a bindable function...
If I have the cursor in the middle of a line and use a sequence like this
^X-d}. The entire paragraph is deleted starting from the beginning of the
line on which the cursor resides. If I use a sequence where I select a
region
like so '-dq' this does not delete entire lines on which the region begins
and ends it deletes only the characters selected in the region. What I'm
looking for is a type of block mode region selection where entire lines are
selected, I'm not looking for rectangle selection.
I use "2q" for selecting whole lines. That's mentioned at the end of the
help for "q":
Use the repeat-count to specify types of selection: exact=1
(default), full-line=2, rectangle=3.
