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.
