I cmd-arrow + click on it on my MacBook trackpad if needed. Believe it or not, it’s actually really really fast, and in my experience faster than any vim trick. The reason why it’s faster is that it’s a lower level task: I can just visually go where I want without even having to read contents or even line numbers, just based on text shape, don’t even have to think about it, it’s just muscle reflex. I don’t have to (consciously or not) plan a strategy choosing the best way among 5 different ways each time I want to select text. And no, this never becomes a true reflex. If it does then it’s just because you always choose the same strategy. You always have this part of your brain that has to think about vim tricks, and believe me, we can see that from the outside.
