Stroller ???????(??):
Hi there,
I can find numerous references on the net to this behaviour:
In vim, you can just select the rectangular region with Ctrl-v,
then type "I#<ESC>". This will insert # in each line at the same
column. Very convenient.
EG:

http://hurley.wordpress.com/2007/06/13/vim-tip-comment-out-multiple-lines/
Yet it doesn't seem to work on any of my Gentoo systems.
Is this something that is caused by a Gentoo-specific /etc/vimrc or
has vim evolved?
Any comments gratefully received.
Stroller.
Exuse me, but it works on my computer :) And thanks about this topic, I
didn't know about this feature!
I selected region by Ctrl-v, pressed Shift-I and white selection
disappeared, I pressed # and ESC and got this effect...
