Press space to set the first or second mark respectively. Y and y can be used to mark one whole line or to mark from start of line.
W marks exactly one word.
Y will copy lines 11 to 15 into the paste buffer. C-a s emacs style incremental search forward. Specials There are, however, some keys that act differently here from in vi . Vi does not allow to yank rectangular blocks of text, but screen does. Press c or C to set the left or right margin respectively.
