Re: How to do block pasting?

You did something wrong.
Well, you have...

abc
def
ghi

rst
uvw
xyz

In exit mode (escape), move the cursor to 'c'.
Type 'a' to enter insert mode, then type 2 spaces.
Escape again, then move the cursor to 'r'.
ctrl-v to enter visual block mode.
Then type 'l', 'l', 'j', 'j', to cover the block to move.
The current cursor will then move to 'z'.
Type 'd' to delete them.
Then repeating 'k' until the cursor points 'a'.
Then type '$', and finally 'p'.

Hope that helps.
