Is it possible to select text from the current position, forward a number of lines, or to (or even between) a specific line number(s)? Also, is there any means of selecting text from the current cursor position up until a search term is found? (ex, I'm on line 30, I search for 'foo', which happens to occur next on line 57, so lines 30-57 (or at least line 30 through 'foo' on line 57) are selected.
Appreciate any assistance that can be provided!
