How to source a part of a file
I can source a file, e.g. my vimrc
with :so %
or :so <filename>
. But what do I do when I need to source only part of a file. I want some way to visually select a portion of the file with :h v
and then source it. Kinda like emacs's M-x eval-region
workflow

check help :@
also check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20262519/vim-how-to-source-a-part-of-the-buffer
So, you're saying I should just copy and paste it in my command-line window? That's... easier than I thought.
