I often use visual selection mode in vim so that I can see what I'm about to operate on. For instance, if I want to change text between the cursor and the next match of a regex, I want to see the selection before I change it. So instead of c/re[enter], I type v/re[enter]c. It's one extra character, but it saves me a lot of headaches. This is the first I've heard of Kakoune, but I'm definitely intrigued.
