How to select a jagged block in Vim?

vim

Solution

The following sequence should do the trick

ggw<C-v>G$

where

gg    -- Goes to top of file
w     -- skips one word
<C-v> -- starts visual block select
G     -- selects until end of file
$     -- selects to end of each line

Problem

For example, there are some text like this: ``` 001 aaaaa 002 bbbbbbbb 003 ccc ``` I want to select ``` aaaaa bbbbbbbb ccc ``` and yank it. What should I do?
