I'm using Vim 7.1 for Windows. For some reason, I have been conditioned to expect the following behaviour, which I no longer get.
when I press Ctrl-V at (say) text column 5 and cursor down, a 1- character wide column is highlighted. When I press "I", I can insert text (say, "dog") and that text will appear in text columns 5-7 on every row that was highlighted, including rows that had no text nor whitespace. What I currently observe is that the inserted text does not show up on empty lines crossed by the highlighted 1-character-wide column. Am I just mis-remembering how this works, or is there a switch that enables the behaviour I described above? I have virtualedit set to all. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
