VISUAL MODE : Highlight, select and edit text.

Vim has four modes of operation:

NORMAL MODE : Used for editor commands. This is generally the default mode and by default hitting ESC returns the editor to this mode.
COMMAND MODE : Provides a single line input at the bottom of the Vim window. Commands (beginning with :) and some other keys for specific actions (including pattern search and the filter command) activate this mode. On completion of the command, Vim returns to the previous mode.
INSERT MODE : Type and edit text.
VISUAL MODE : Highlight, select and edit text.
