An attempt to implement v_R:
" File: vbreplace.vim
" Created: 2007 Oct 02
" Last Change: 2007 Oct 02
" Implement v_b_R: works like v_b_I, but starts replace mode in every line.
" This is different from v_s (change the selection).
" Note: You should stick with Esc and Ctrl-C to quit replace mode.
vno R :<c-u>call <sid>Rstart()<cr>R
func! <sid>Rstart()
if visualmode() != "\<c-v>"
return
endif
let s:col = virtcol(".")
ino <esc> <esc>:call <sid>Repeat()<cr>
ino <c-c> <c-c>:call <sid>Rend()<cr>
endfunc
func! <sid>Repeat()
let sav_ve = &ve
" set virtualedit+=onemore
set virtualedit=all
" without ve: would change the last char of a line if one column behind
exec "'<,'>g/\\%>".(s:col-1).'v/normal! '.s:col.'|.'
normal! `<m[
let &ve = sav_ve
call <sid>Rend()
endfunc
func! <sid>Rend()
iun <esc>
iun <c-c>
endfunc
" just found a bug:
" :set ve+=onemore
"
" works with "2|", but not with ":normal! 2|" (check out with the above
" line)
