<![CDATA[paste in column mode possible?]]>Is paste in column mode possible?

I found a way to write text (after marking the vertical line with alt+left mouse button),
but how can I paste text previously copied in the clipboard there?

thanks in advance

More details than that would help even more. As far as I can tell, your described scenario is very doable. Here’s what I do:

  • select (in non-column mode) some text (best to NOT span multiple lines with the selection!)
  • copy to clipboard
  • get a thin column mode caret (you seem to already know how to do this) at the desired insertion point
  • paste

All lines spanned by the thin caret now get the same text inserted.

I don’t think the default paste does just that, but the result is not as expected, for me at least

ctrl+v

(but obviously there is more to the story than that…can you explain further about what exactly you are doing and what you expect?)
