A simple problem that I do not have the right terminology to google to. I am in visual mode when I delete some lines:
aaa
eee
fff
bbb
ccc
ddd
ggg
hhh
from first whitespace in 'b' row I press $ to select to end of line and then down to 'd' line but when I put them in the slot after 'aaa' I get this:
aaa
bbb
ccc eee
ddd fff
ggg
hhh
I want 'e' and 'f' lines to push down, not out. I can do it by copy/paste using the mouse in insert mode but the mouse is not my friend so I would like to know another way of doing it.
It looks like you are using "visual-block mode" (<C-v>, or <C-q> if you source mswin.vim, which you shouldn't) instead of the correct "visual-line mode" (V).
