Experimentation led to confusion -- I can see in the status line at the bottom of the window that the editor is in fact in some kind of auto-select mode when I press the appropriate key, but I don't understand what it is doing when in that state. I would like an explanation of start-select-char, start-select-line, and start-select-block.
These modes select characters, blocks (or rectangles of characters), or
lines when the cursor is moved. You can also enter them via the Edit ->
Selection Mode menu. Escape clears any selection mode.
To try these modes out, enter one of them and then start using the arrow
keys to move the cursor around.
