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

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?)

I want to paste same text to all columns,
I don’t think the default paste does just that, but the result is not as expected, for me at least -
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.

ok, it’s working, I cannot remember what I was doing wrong,
thanks for the answers
