How do we switch batch and forth from 'visual' mode to 'ex' mode? #122

Hello,

I've recently discovered your vi clone because of a deep exploration of ed(-like) and ex(-like) editors and I'm having fun diving into this funny side of text editors.

Although, I know that when opening a file in 'ex' mode, you can switch to visual mode (the good'ol' 'vi') using the ':vi(sual)' command.

But you can also go back from visual to ex mode using the gQ keystroke.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find how to do so in nextvi. Could you please either tell me what's the command to launch, or, if it doesn't exist, add it to nextvi?

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. You can switch using keybind ^o. It's also mentioned in 71.
