Operators on Visual Selections

Any operator works on a Visual range. Plus a few visual-only ones.

Keys: d, c, y, gU, u, U, >, <, J, =

After selecting visually, any operator (d, c, y, gU, etc.) acts on the selection. A few operators are visual-only: u/U for case, J for join, > / < for indent.

After Visual selection, every operator key acts on the selection — no motion needed. The selection IS the range.

Key	Effect on selection
`d`	Delete
`c`	Change (delete + Insert)
`y`	Yank
`p`	Replace selection with register contents
`>`, `<`	Indent / outdent
`=`	Reindent (per `'indentexpr'`)
`gU`, `gu`, `g~`	Uppercase / lowercase / toggle case
`U`, `u`	Same — but visual-only single-key shortcuts
`~`	Toggle case (visual-only single-key)
`J`	Join lines (with space)
`gJ`	Join lines (no space added)
