Does anyone know where to find documentation on using visual block selection with spacemacs/evil/emacs? There’s something called evil-lisp-state-visual-block under SPC k C-v, but I don’t know how to use it, or if it can do what I want/need.

I think that’s just a side-effecting artifact of merge of two different keymaps - evil-normal-state and evil-lisp-state. You can use VISUAL BLOCK without lisp-state using C-S-v/`C-v` in normal state

Cheers @troglotit, that works as expected! I was surprised not to see it on the SPC M-x search list, that’s how I usually find functionality by name.

(maybe it has some obscure name?)

sorry, I’m a moron, it’s right there.

I’d find it like SPC h d k C-v slightly_smiling_face` oh yeah, it’s when you know the keybindings 😅

that’s handy, too!
