Hi there,

I can find numerous references on the net to this behaviour:

   In vim, you can just select the rectangular region with Ctrl-v,
   then type "I#<ESC>".  This will insert # in each line at the same
   column.  Very convenient.

EG:

Yet it doesn't seem to work on any of my Gentoo systems.

Is this something that is caused by a Gentoo-specific /etc/vimrc or has vim evolved?

Any comments gratefully received.

Stroller.
