Hi, thinking about this problem one round more I found another way to do this myself...looks a little weird and complicated -- but I think it is vimmish enough therefore:
in normal mode with virtualedit set to "block": <C-V>70|yp<C-V>70|r. The problem with this I still have currently: I dont know how to make "70" and "." variable in a script so I can give those as parameters to a command/function. Thanks you very much for any help in advance! mcc
