While looking into the bug about using "P" in Visual block mode, I was
wondering why it deletes the selected text. "p" and "P" do the same
thing.
Example text:
some very complicated and interesting code;
some code;
some code;
some code;
some code;
some code;
Now you want to copy "very complicated and interesting" and put it in
all the other lines before "code". Visually selecting the "c" column
and using "P" would be a nice way of doing that. You can still use "p"
if you actually want to overwrite the text.
There are other ways to do this, but I can't think of a nice way.
Is it worth changing this? Would not be backwards compatible though.
