# Re-selection of a visual

When you use control-v or shift-v in `vim` to do a visual selection
and then use (for instance) `y` to copy the selected text,
you loose the selection.

More often than not you want to do another thing with the
selection you just had. How?

    gv

 Copy to clipboard

Make a selection and use

    "*yy

Now the selection is 'under your mouse'. If think I'm going to
bind this sequence to something more easy, like `*Y`.
