Subject: [gentoo-user] Commenting out multiple lines in vim
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 19:53:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <B524387A-22FF-4D81-B707-4081FD25C1E0@stellar.eclipse.co.uk> (raw)
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.
