with extsel you can stil hold ctrl and select multiple lines i.e lines 1 3 6 7 9 can be selected and

while ( $did(name,id).sel ) {
did -d name id $v1
}

will still work great.

I dont know how long i was making loops checking lines were selected and decrementing the loop etc until i stumbled across similar code to this, talk about doing things the long way...
