By default, marks use the '^' register, but using the register can be set
using `"<reg>` prefix.
`Z` will save the current selections to the register. See <<doc/pages/keys#marks,`:doc keys marks`>>.

`<a-z>` will combine the selections from the register with the existing ones.
When combining selections, kakoune will prompt for a combining mode:
`+` will append selections from both lists into a single list
`<` will select the selection with the leftmost cursor for each pair
`>` will select the selection with the rightmost cursor for each pair

Some keys allow you to select a text object: Objects are specific portions of text, like sentences, paragraphs, numbers…
Kakoune offers many keys allowing you to select various text objects.
* `<a-a>`: selects the whole object See <<doc/pages/keys#object-selection,`:doc keys object-selection`>>.
* `<a-i>`: selects the inner object, that is the object excluding its surrounder.
For example, for a quoted string, this will not select the quote, and
for a word this will not select trailing spaces.
* `[`: selects to object start
* `]`: selects to object end
* `{`: extends selections to object start
* `}`: extends selections to object end
After this key, you need to enter a second key in order to specify which
object you want.
* `b`, `(` or `)`: select the enclosing parenthesis
* `B`, `{` or `}`: select the enclosing {} block
* `r`, `[` or `]`: select the enclosing [] block
* `a`, `<` or `>`: select the enclosing <> block
* `"` or `Q`: select the enclosing double quoted string
* `'` or `q`: select the enclosing single quoted string
* ``` or `g`: select the enclosing grave quoted string
* `w`: select the whole word
* `W`: select the whole WORD
* `s`: select the sentence
* `p`: select the paragraph
* `␣`: select the whitespaces
* `i`: select the current indentation block
* `n`: select the number
* `u`: select the argument
* `c`: select user defined object, will prompt
for open and close text.
For nestable objects, a count can be used in order to specify which surrounding
level to select.
