Selections
mapglobal user a'*%s<ret>' -docstring'select all'
*puts the content of the main selection in the search register/%selects the whole buffersopens a prompt waiting for a regex which will be used to make sub-selections. If nothing is entered and the prompt is validated with<ret>, the content of the search register is used by default.

so when you want to select the word - you select it like a text-object,more here

Pipe your selection intosort:|sort<ret>You can also deduplicate with theuniq command or reverse the letters of a word withrev using similar strategies.
To go from
foobarquxto
1foo2bar3quxMake one selection per line (with<a-s> for instance), enter insert mode withI to move cursors at the beginning of each line and insert the content of theindex register with<c-r>#.
First solution using thekeep regex primitive<a-k>:
<a-k>.{10,}Second solution using the$ primitive.In this particular case it's longer to type but it's more generic and powerful since you can construct predicates based on any value:
$[ ${#kak_selection} -gt 10 ]<ret>Here we use a combination of theshell test command[ and the# operator in the var expansion.
The following snippet keeps only "even" selections. So if you have 6 selections, it only keeps selection 2, 4 and 6 :
$[ $((kak_main_reg_hash % 2)) -eq 0 ]<ret>Here we use a combination of theshell test command[ and the(()) shell arithmetic command.
Design more complex filters by using small wrappers in python or lua:https://discuss.kakoune.com/t/filter-your-selections-more-easily/1296

<a-z>and<a-Z>
- vertical-selection copy the current selection up and downwards to all lines matching the current selection.
- phantom-selection interactively iterate over the current selections one by one.
- select-view select the visible part of a buffer.
- auto-percent enhance some primitives with bigger selections
- Normal mode commands
- Avoid the escape key
