So if I accidentally Cmd+V a slightly-sensitive string into my IDE, I now have to consider that string compromised? Even if I’m just doing some local testing? If I paste someone’s name in, that’s potentially me causing a data breach? What?
In vim it invokes vertical visual selection (visual block mode)
Oh, right, it selects a rectangle, is that it?
I never really used that, it’s not a very common command. Maybe for tabulated data, but that’s not something I’d edit with vi… (or vim, nowadays)
Yes sort of I think. I use it often when I want to edit multiple lines at the same time e.g. adding the same prefix at the beginning of every line or in the same cursor position on every line.
