. how do I do regular expression searches in a blockwise visual selection? specifically, if i'm looking to change something at the end of the block, say for example, replace all trailing whitespace with a ',' I can't do the following:
:'<,'>s/ *$/,/
because it'll act on the whole line outside of the block


The vis.vim plugin supports this; in fact, it supports the application of any command-mode command to a visual block. For an example of that, considering filtering a visual block (eg. with sort).

You can get the latest vis.vim from

   http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#VIS

or a more stable version from:
