vim: is there a way to C-V a text object?

[ping]

looks currently "C-v i/a p" is same as "v i/a p" for a paragraph...

Does the following do what you want?

v i/a p C-v

which should select the paragraph characterwise, then turn it into a
visual-block.

-tim

I don't understand...what is that "vs" do?

v i/a p     : I visually select the whole paragraph, so far OK
v           : I turn to visual block, but only select the column where my cursor is
s           : it looks my cursor goes to command line now? strange... how to proceed?

I guess you mean:

v i/a p Ctrl-v$

?

that works, a bit too much strokes though...

thanks.

sorry, that doesn't even work well...
it only assume you 1st move your cursor to the 1st column, otherwise
only "half" block of paragraph got selected.

still need some help here...

Sorry, the "s" was a fat-fingered accident. Should just have just been

v i/a p C-v

which will do what I think you want (since the only description you
gave was "a way to C-V a text object").

If you want something other than that, you'll have to describe what
you want more clearly.

Tim,

Notice your first reply does not have the s. How it got there for ping
is very strange.

I don't understand. Can you please explain, what you are trying to do?
I am not sure <Ctrl-V> and paragraph actually makes sense here.

it makes sense, at least for me, in the case that I want to paste a new column.

say I have my text like this:

    interfac
     qos-pro
     encapsu
     ip desc
     ip sa-v
     ip addr
     no ip r

    e seria
    file "I
    lation
    ription
    alidate
    ess 65.
    edirect

how do I move the 2nd paragraph and clue it to the 1st?

currently manually I can only copy it like this:

go to 2nd P and put my cursor exactly at left-up corner letter "e"
c-v and move down to left-bottom corner letter "e"
$
y

that said,  0vip<c-v>$ OR ^vip<c-v>$ , or using } only works if the text object happen to start from 1st column.
in case of indented Paragraph, there seems no way to change the highlighted columns (to make it start from 1st column e instead of all) once selected via "v a p".


=======================
and b.t.w, your NrrwRgn is nice!

FYI finally I defined a new map like this:

nn ,v {+vip<c-v>$

and it works well.
