to commands that operate on text regions, e.g., @kbd{dr} to delete region,
etc.

Furthermore, Viper lets Ex-style commands to work on the current region.
This is done by typing a digit argument before @kbd{:}.  For instance,
typing @kbd{1:} will propmt you with something like @emph{:123,135},
assuming that the current region starts at line 123 and ends at line
135.  There is no need to type the line numbers, since Viper inserts them
automatically in front of the Ex command.

should start them with a @kbd{:}, e.g., @kbd{:WW}.

In Viper, Ex commands can be made to work on the current Emacs region.
This is done by typing a digit argument before @kbd{:}.
For instance, typing @kbd{1:} will propmt you with something like
@emph{:123,135}, assuming that the current region starts at line 123 and
ends at line 135.  There is no need to type the line numbers, since Viper
inserts them automatically in front of the Ex command.

@item Insert state

the Shell mode by changing the bindings for @kbd{C-m} and @kbd{C-d} using
@code{viper-add-local-keys} described in the section on customization
(@pxref{Customization}).

In some cases, some @emph{minor} modes might override certain essential
bindings in Vi command state.  This is not a big priblem because this
can happen only in the beginning, when the minor mode kicks in.  Typing
@code{M-x viper-mode} will correct the situation.  Viper knows about
several such minor modes and takes care of them, so the above trick
is usually not necessary.  If you find that some minor mode, e.g.,
@code{nasty-mode} interferes with Viper, putting the following in

placing this command in @code{~/.viper}:
@lisp
(setq viper-mouse-insert-key '(meta 2))
@end lisp
If you want to bind mouse-insert to an action even if this action is
already taked for other purposes in Emacs, then you should add this command
to @code{~/.viper}, after setting @code{viper-mouse-insert-key}:
@lisp
(viper-bind-mouse-insert-key 'force)
@end lisp

Finally, we note that Viper's Ex-style commands can be made to work on the
