Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-04-02 21:35:03 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

This would be very useful, not maybe in normal writing too much, but for writing code, mmm... beauty ;-)

Let's say you have:
case a:
b :
c : 
d :

you are in insert mode, you select + copy "case", you switch to block, you select

case a:
|b :
c : 
|d :

and paste, and voila:

case a:
case b :
case c : 
case d :

Comment 2 Mathieu Jobin 2008-04-24 16:30:18 UTC

I think this is either a duplicate or a strange way to implement what is suggested in bug #56935

try the column mode of crimson editor or ultraedit on windows 
or textmate on OSX.

Comment 3 Maciej Pilichowski 2008-04-24 17:11:19 UTC

This report is about copy&paste the other report is about editing text (i.e. typing). Both are about block mode and both are about populating change over whole selection.
