I think the provided above examples are sufficient without any further commentary.
You need Minecraft 1.19.3 (as of writing this), fabric (and fabric api), and this mod, which you can get here and put it inside the mods folder.
You also need a server with WorldEdit plugin (not included here) and permissions to use the commands it provides (obviously).
First, you need to enter the command mode by pressing backtick.
An in-game message should appear: .
Now you are in command mode. To exit, you can press escape2 or backtick again. In command mode you cannot move and you are accountable for every letter you press (like in real vim).
Now the only thing left to do is to compose a command. Further in this readme, there is a keymap list, which you should refer to and memorize. I tried to make it fairly easy, as some concepts are borrowed directly from the vim keymapping, and the command keys translate to the first letter of a command they execute (most of the time). Pressing any other key not included in this list does nothing.
Just press any of the command keys and it will execute immediately.
Before pressing command keys, you can accumulate modifiers, flags, etc. To move something 10 blocks up, you should input:
10km or k10m. Notice that the modifier input order does not matter: the only constraint is that the last key must be a command (in this case it's m).
You can also add flags by holding Ctrl and pressing the existing flag key in WorldEdit (currently there are implemented only -m, -s, -a and -e).
Note that while you need to add -m flag when using masks, if you add -m without the mask and later execute the command of your choosing, the command will not execute, rather the chat screen will open and the created command will await manual pasting (Ctrl+V). This is because method that was working in the development environment rendered not functional after I exported the mod.
So, if you want to move your selection by one block multiple times upwards, you can do:
Ctrl+s k m or k Ctrl+s m. Again, the modifier order does not matter. Notice that it runs only once. To run it multiple times, you can just press . (the dot key), as it repeats the last issued command.
If you wanted to type a command that flips the clipboard to the right side, but you accidentaly pressed up/down (so the typed keys are k or j). The only thing you can do, is to press Escape and type your command anew.
Currently, to create a mask, you need to be looking at the block you wish to add to the mask, and press Ctrl+F1-F12. You can can have 12 masks at the same time, hence F1-F12. By pressing functional key with a ctrl, you will erase what was there before, and add a new block.
If you are not looking at any block or the nearest block isn't in the 30 block radius, a message saying that "There is no block in sight" will appear and nothing will happen. To only append the block to the mask, you should hold Shift instead of Ctrl.
Also, liquids are skipped and will not be added to the mask.
If you feel the need to remind yourself what blocks the mask contains, press Ctrl+Shift+F1-F12 to print on the screen the contents of the mask.
Now, onto the real usage. To stack 10 times forwards only the glass in your selection, you should first look upon the glass, enter the command mode, press Ctrl+F1-F12 (let's assume the functional key pressed here was F1) to clear the F1 mask and add the glass block to it.
Then: 10 Shift+k Ctrl+m F1 s (or you can omit the direction, because //stack command will stack in the direction the player is looking if the direction is omitted).
If you want to move everything except the glass, leave your mask be (the one with only glass block) and type: 10 Shift+k Ctrl+m Alt+F1 s.
By pressing alt, the negated version of your mask will be pasted.
If you want to stack glass and glowstone, point your camera to the glowstone, press Shift+F1, to append glowstone to the mask under F1 (which, in this example already has glass added to it), and then type: 10 Shift+k Ctrl+m F1 s.

Footnotes
-
Where "C" means holding control key before pressing the button to the right, "F1" is a functional key, and you have saved "stone,glowstone,glass" to the "F1" mask. Spaces included for readability. ↩
-
If you are halfway through writing command, ie. pressed some buttons like flags but didn't press a button that is responsible for actual command, the first "escape" press will cancel the command, and only the next one exits. ↩
-
Where F1-F12 means any functional key ranging from F1 to F12 (inclusive). ↩
