I'm hereby making the <vis.vim> script, long available at http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#VIS, also available here at vim.sf.net.  There are two commands made available: B and S. ---------------- Visual Commands: ----------------     B     Use V, v, or ctrl-v to visually mark some region.  Then use        :B cmd     (this command will appear as:   :'<,'>B cmd)     The command will then be applied to just the visually selected region.     For examples:       Use ctrl-v to select a column and then do a substitute on just that column.         ctrl-v ..move.. :B s/pattern/becomes/            Use ctrl-v to select a column, then apply an external filter to just that column.       ctrl-v ..move.. :B !sort ---------------- Visual Searches: ----------------     S     Use V, v, or ctrl-v to visually mark some region.  Then use         :S pattern   (this search will appear as     :'<,'>S pattern)     The search will then be applied to just the visually selected region.     It may be repeated with n and N commands, too (without having to     re-mark the region).  A plain S will apply the last :S-pattern     to the latest selected region. ----------------- Related Subjects: ----------------- * For incrementing/decrementing numbers, dates, and letters in a column: see vimscript#670 and vimtip#150 * For sorting based on a column (column-restricted, whole lines but column-keyed), see vimtip#588 * For overwriting visual blocks with other visual blocks: see vimtip#808 * For more on applying substitutes to a visual block: see vimtip#63 * For swapping pairs of visual blocks: see vimtip#329 (alpha/beta version available at http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#VIS)

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
vis.vba.gz	20	2013-03-29	7.0	Charles Campbell	Split into a plugin/autoload pair (faster vim startup). Cedit bypassed in vis.vim (bugfix). Fixed bug where VisBlockCmd() effectively shortened a visual block selection due to a short last line.
vis.vba.gz	19	2006-06-20	7.0	Charles Campbell	improvement -- cecutil updated to use keepjumps (vim 7.0) bugfix -- small mod made to allow AlignMaps to work with visual blocks (...:B norm \somemap) bugfix -- works around formatoption setting
vis.tar.gz	18	2005-08-26	6.0	Charles Campbell	Bugfix - vis.vim now works around a virtcol() behavior difference between ve=all vs ve=block (effect -- a ctrl-v selected region, with ve=block and a short last line, didn't build a search pattern for the entire block)
vis.tar.gz	17	2005-04-25	6.0	Charles Campbell	Vis.vim now uses cecutil.vim functions; I've now included them in the tarball to make installation simpler.
vis.vim.gz	16	2005-04-14	6.0	Charles Campbell	* Both B and S visual mode commands now use <q-args> instead of <args> * Visual character selections (v) didn't restrict itself to the selected region when either ignorecase is used or if only one or two lines were in the region.
vis.vim.gz	15	2005-02-01	6.0	Charles Campbell	Visual Commands, Substitutes, and Searches (visual line, character, and block)
