Re: block mode paste feature

Not a bad idea.

I guess no one thinks this should be an internal 'feature'?

Can vim be made to DWIM here? I did a quick search and found I'm not the only one who has run into this. For example:

Just to re-explain what I want: when you visually select a block, you can change or insert and it will change the block but when you paste a single line buffer (I can see how this might get not be so simple for pasting multiple lines) it only changes the first line. The "fix" of using C+R in insert mode as was mentioned works, but the behavior isn't what I expect.

Seems to me that you could set up a pair of vnoremaps (of p and P) to do what you want:

vn P    I<c-r>"<esc>
vn p    A<c-r>"<esc>
