3) It is in the todo list:
- Add COLUMN NUMBERS to ":" commands ":line1,line2[col1,col2]cmd". Block
can be selected with CTRL-V. Allow '$' (end of line) for col2.
7 CTRL-V :s should substitute only in the block, not to whole lines. (David
Young is working on this)
7 Filtering a block should only apply to the block, not to the whole lines.
When the number of lines is increased, add lines. When decreased, pad with
spaces or delete? Use ":`<,`>" on the command line.
6 ":left" and ":right" should work in Visual block mode.
7 Substitute in a block of text. Use {line}.{column} notation in an Ex
range, e.g.: ":1.3,$.5s" means to substitute from line 1 column 3 to the
last line column 5.
8 Add put command that replaces the text under it. Esp. for blockwise
Visual mode.
This will be a useful feature to add compared to the support for parallel
editing of the same file.
