The visual block mode selects in your case selects only one column: and the selected letters are f,s and t. Every one is the first and last in its row. What do you mean by showing also the last character? As a workaround in your case I'd rather suggest changing the cursor shape in visual selection mode. I think it is possible though I don't have an example how to do that at hand. Regards, Marcin -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
