True, but with this method, you don't use the mouse, just the keyboard: |
| 30 |
1) Go to first line |
| 31 |
2) Press <CTRL>+V |
| 32 |
3) go to last line |
| 33 |
4) Press <ESC> |
| 34 |
5) Press <SHIFT>+I |
| 35 |
6) Press '#' |
| 36 |
7) Press <ESC> |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
On my system I then need to move the cursor to actually see the change, is |
| 39 |
this normal? |
