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.
...
Exuse me, but it works on my computer :) And thanks about this
topic, I didn't know about this feature!
I selected region by Ctrl-v, pressed Shift-I and white selection
disappeared, I pressed # and ESC and got this effect...
Blimey! I overlooked the instruction to use the <escape> key!
Having recently made a resolution to take better advantage of vim's
features I have only just learned selection using shift-v, so had to
test again using ctrl-v before posting. I also tried both combinations
using just "i" and also shift-I.
