Thanks for that tip I would just have Visual mode, select lines, I, and then #, Esc Esc

I need like a vim tip a day or something to show me more of these tricks.

The vim users mailing list is extremely lively and full of little tidbits like this. I highly recommend following it.

You might also be interested in #vim on freenode. Get all your questions answered in real time.

I second this, the people in #vim are awesome and usually very quick to answer your questions. It's also one of the friendliest channels I've been in, for what it's worth.

uh, that is what gfodor does, just with keyboard navigation.

Ctrl-v is used to enter (column) visual mode, and ctrl-[ is a shortcut for the esc key.
