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 :

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.
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.
