I just tried it with "make emacs" and it worked as what you said, so obviously something is wrong with my configuration, I apologize for that. > Anyhow the behaviour you request is a non-trivial issue because it interferes > with the fact that "r" expects a character and not a command.

Yes, it's not trivial at all and may not be worth the effort, especially when there is workaround: select block -> "d" -> select block -> "I" -> "C-r "" to achieve what I wanted. >> What you said is what is working in Vim, not what is working >> currently in Evil, however, I think what is working in Evil is even >> better and more useful.
