     @fiore @coolbean yeah, that's the core thing. all movements are selections

     if you go down, you're just growing your selection one line downwards

     @fiore @jilotta 3wd or wwwd if you want to grow the selection incrementally which i find more intuitive

     @coolbean @jilotta so w by itself doesnt just move the cursor , and instead youre always sort of in visual mode ?

     like , how does the editor tell j->move down apart from j->im gonna do a command ?

     @fiore @jilotta action-selection order itself just isnt intuitive and limits what you can comfortably do. vim can do stuff other ways usually involving number keys (e.g. to delete 3 words you can do d3w i think but its nice to be able to keep pressing w to grow your selection)

     @fiore helix advocates say vimkeys are inconsistent, helix's are more tidied up
