They both work well, but I frequently would like to run par

1. Get vis.vim from:
2. Select your block of text
ctrl-v
move
:B !par
The "vis.vim" plugin provides the :B command, which allows
visual blocks/character/line selected regions to be handled
by ex-mode commands (such as :!par).
Thanks for the response. I usually would be using Shift-V to
select the lines for formatting; I take it vis.vim wouldn't
work in that case?
The example given above was for visual-block; Shift-V is visual line
selection. All three
visual selection methods: by block (ctrl-v), by character (v), and by
line (V), are supported.
