 ## Selections and multi-caret editing
 
-Editing uses an ordered selection set with one primary target. Cursor and word motions apply to every target; Visual motions keep each target's anchor and move its active endpoint. Whole combining sequences and ZWJ emoji remain intact. Visual selection is characterwise and inclusive of the endpoints; its read-only ranges are end-exclusive. `$`/End can select the newline after a non-final row; empty-line newlines are selectable too. Selected newlines appear as a blue blank cell after the line. Blue highlighting overrides yellow search highlighting; secondary carets are magenta, including on empty lines and at line ends. Only the primary owns the hardware cursor and viewport. The status line counts all targets, including offscreen targets.
+Editing uses an ordered selection set with one primary target. Cursor and word motions apply to every target; Visual motions keep each target's anchor and move its active endpoint. Whole combining sequences and ZWJ emoji remain intact. `v` selects characterwise, inclusive of endpoints; `V` selects every complete row touched by the endpoints, including blank and empty final rows. Switching between `v` and `V` retains endpoints; pressing the current shape's selector again cancels. Read-only ranges are end-exclusive. Characterwise `$`/End can select the newline after a non-final row; selected newlines appear as a blue blank cell after the line. Linewise highlighting fills the text viewport width, never the gutter, and the status reads VISUAL LINE. Blue highlighting overrides yellow search highlighting; secondary carets are magenta, including on empty lines and at line ends. Only the primary owns the hardware cursor and viewport. The status line counts all targets, including offscreen targets.
 
 Ctrl+k/Ctrl+e clone each target to the adjacent row, preserving preferred terminal-cell columns (tabs use four-cell stops); Visual cloning preserves both endpoints. Duplicate carets and truly overlapping selections merge; adjacent ranges remain distinct. Visual Ctrl+l creates one Normal caret at the first nonblank of each touched row. Visual `I`/`A` similarly create one Insert caret per touched row at first nonblank/end. Occurrence actions use the primary selection as a literal, potentially multiline, grapheme-aligned query: Ctrl+n adds the next non-overlapping occurrence and wraps; Ctrl+s moves only the primary to that occurrence; Ctrl+a selects all occurrences.
 
-Copy and cut return to Normal at each selection start; Visual cancellation keeps each active endpoint and removes highlighting. Normal Esc collapses to the primary. `p`/`P` paste after/before each current grapheme, including multiline text. Each caret lands on its last inserted grapheme, or the new row's start when its fragment ends in a newline. Every multi-target edit is planned against the original buffer and committed as one undo action, not one per target. Copy, movement, and cancellation do not add history or clear redo. Undo/redo restore text, the full caret set, and primary identity in Normal mode, not Visual highlighting or the clipboard.
+Copy and cut return to Normal at each selection start; Visual cancellation keeps each active endpoint and removes highlighting. Normal Esc collapses to the primary. Characterwise `p`/`P` paste after/before each current grapheme, including multiline text. Linewise clipboard fragments paste complete rows below/above each target row, including at end of file. Internal fragments retain their shape; system clipboard shape is retained only while its bytes match the editor's last publication, and unrelated external clipboard text is characterwise. Characterwise paste lands on its last inserted grapheme, or the new row's start when its fragment ends in a newline; linewise paste lands at the first nonblank of the first inserted row.

-Visual `c` removes all selected text into the configured clipboard and enters Insert at each selection start. In the default System policy, clipboard publication must succeed before any deletion; failures leave text and selections intact. Deletion and replacement typing form one undo action when Insert mode is exited, including through explicit command execution. Esc without typing commits the deletion alone. An identical replacement creates no history entry and preserves redo. Changing only empty final-row selections enters Insert without overwriting either clipboard.

-For other applications, multi-selection exports join fragments with LF. Vamp retains their original boundaries privately while the OS text exactly matches its export, so its own copies still paste pairwise. Different external text invalidates that metadata and becomes one literal fragment—even when it contains newlines—broadcasting to all targets. Identical external replacement text is inherently indistinguishable from an unchanged export. No empty-system fallback to stale internal text occurs.
+For other applications, characterwise multi-selection exports join fragments with LF; linewise exports concatenate whole-row fragments without extra separators because each fragment already ends in LF.

 System paste validates UTF-8, unsupported controls, newlines, and a 4 MiB limit before editing; CRLF/CR normalize to LF. System exports also have a 4 MiB limit. Provider failures report an error without deleting/changing buffer text, caret/selection state, history, or repeat intent. No silent internal fallback occurs in System mode; choose Separate if clipboard access is unavailable. A native provider that fails after publishing may already have changed OS clipboard formats; vamp cannot roll that external side effect back.

 `.` repeats the session's last successful native edit in Normal/Visual. Insertion placements (`i`/`I`/`a`/`A`/`o`/`O`), Insert typing and edit-context motions/newline/backspace/delete, Visual change/cut, Normal deletion, clipboard/literal paste, and line joining are recorded as resolved edit operations—not keystrokes, command invocations, or old byte offsets. Remapping keys afterward does not change the recorded operation. Insert `.` and popup query `.` remain literal. A count before dot is consumed and repeats once, consistent with other non-motion commands.
 
-In Normal, Visual change/cut targeting replays its resolved motions and counts at each current caret: `vecitem` followed later by `.` changes a fresh whole word, even if its length differs. If targeting was rebuilt by cloning, occurrence gathering, search, or overlap merging, repeat uses relative whole-grapheme spans instead. Equal spans broadcast; unequal spans require matching target counts. In Visual, the current explicit ranges replace the stored targeting. Target-building commands themselves do not recreate old cursors.

-Clipboard paste captures the fragments actually pasted, so a later yank or external clipboard change does not change repeat's payload; dot paste never rereads the OS. One fragment broadcasts; equal fragment/target counts pair; mismatches refuse atomically. Other per-target edit data, such as partially effective Insert deletion, obeys the same conservative distribution policy. Dot cut/change follows the current clipboard policy and stages publication until replay validation finishes. A refusal or provider error preserves editor text, caret/primary state, register caches, history, and recipe; already-published OS data cannot be transactionally restored.

 Each repeat returns to Normal and creates one undo entry restoring the full caret set and primary. Original typing/paste/typing boundaries remain separate; dot replays the selected committed group as one transaction. Typed text retains scalar insertion boundaries, preserving combining/ZWJ interactions with surrounding graphemes; bracketed paste remains one bulk literal operation. Trailing Insert movement is not repeated.
