Try using the visual mode.

v<use normal navigation keys to select>y

So if you go to the bottom of the screen, then this will grab three
lines and scroll the window while you do it:

vjjjy

v<navigation>"xy

where 'x' is the buffer.

:-D  There is/was a kvim that is/was a kpart that IN THEORY should have
been able to eventually work as the text editor part of Konqueror.
Honestly, I don't know what ever happened to that.  But it's been my
dream to be able to use vi key bindings in every text editor I ever use.
