1. Select blockwise, starting at the left margin, by means of Ctrl-V
plus vertical cursor motion.
2. hit I (i.e., shift-i) to insert before the block.
3. type > followed by space
4. Esc to leave Insert mode.
You can automate steps 2 to 4, e.g. with
:xnoremap <F4> I> <Esc>
To blockquote the text just pasted or yanked, you can map the whole
sequence (steps 1 to 4) as
:nnoremap <F4> '[<C-V>']I> <Esc>
Best regards,

Brace yourselves. We're about to try something that borders on the
unique: an actually rather serious technical book which is not only
(gasp) vehemently anti-Solemn, but also (shudder) takes sides. I tend
to think of it as `Constructive Snottiness.'
