The optional argument {opts} is a Dict and supports the
following items:
- type Specify the selection type
+ type Specify the region's selection type
(default: "v"):
"v" for |characterwise| mode
"V" for |linewise| mode
"<CTRL-V>" for |blockwise-visual| mode
- exclusive If |true|, use exclusive selection
- for the end position 'selection'.
+ exclusive If |TRUE|, use exclusive selection
+ for the end position
+ (default: follow 'selection')
You can get the last selection type by |visualmode()|.
If Visual mode is active, use |mode()| to get the Visual mode
(e.g., in a |:vmap|).
- This function uses the line and column number from the
- specified position.
- It is useful to get text starting and ending in different
- columns, such as |characterwise-visual| selection.

Note that:
- Order of {pos1} and {pos2} doesn't matter, it will always
return content from the upper left position to the lower
right position.
- - If 'virtualedit' is enabled and selection is past the end of
- line, resulting lines are filled with blanks.
- - If the selection starts or ends in the middle of a multibyte
- character, it is not included but its selected part is
- substituted with spaces.
+ - If 'virtualedit' is enabled and the region is past the end
+ of the lines, resulting lines are padded with spaces.
+ - If the region is blockwise and it starts or ends in the
+ middle of a multi-cell character, it is not included but
+ its selected part is substituted with spaces.
- If {pos1} or {pos2} is not current in the buffer, an empty
list is returned.
