Re: How to do block pasting?

Thanks Aswin and Pongthep. I think I was doing the same thing as suggested by using the gvim gui, that is, using a small animal-like good-old hand device and everytime got the funny pasting result by hitting [p].

On the jEdit program which is one of the new generation of the text editors on Linux, you have [rectangular select] and [clipboard extension]>>[vertical paste] menu items under the [[Edit]] primary menu. This "vertical paste" thing did the task I wanted long perfectly.

I shall use the jEdit editor when some table-like editing operation is needed.

Any way, thanks very much for your valuable helps. Thanks again.
