I don't know if theres anything built in, but its relatively easy to add a
keybinding to do it yourself.

To let C-space select both start and end of selection plus cancel it, put
the following lines into your .snd-ls file:

(bind-key (char->integer #\ ) 4
           (let ((selstart #f))
             (lambda ()
               (let ((set-selstart! (lambda ()
                                      (report-in-minibuffer (format #f "Selection start at ~A" (cursor)))
                                      (set! selstart (cursor)))))
                 (if (c-selection?)
                     (begin
                       (set! (selection-member? #t) #f)
                       (set-selstart!))
                     (if selstart
                         (begin
                           (c-set-selection! (c-selected-sound) 0 (min selstart (cursor)) (max selstart (cursor)))
                           (report-in-minibuffer "")
                           (set! selstart #f))
                         (set-selstart!)))))))
(load-from-path "snd_conffile.scm")

I'm sure it would be possible to customize snd to become more like
vim.
