Cutting/pasting columns in Vim

In linux, ctrl -v for block select mode. use hjkl to select text. Edit/cut/past as usual.

In Ms Windows Ctrl - V is already assigned to paste. Vim for Windows uses
Ctrl-Q to start block select mode. You have to use the hjkl keys when
selecting text because the cursor keys simply drop you out of select mode.

Vim, making Windows almost bearable.
