insert Multi-line block

Question

Is it possible in Visual Studio or Management Studio to paste multi-line text block inside text document? For example my clipboard contains

1
2
3
4

my document contains

xxxyyy
xxxyyy
xxxyyy
xxxyyy

I can select space between x and y letters in diferent lines by Alt+Shift+Arrow but I cannot correctly insert my new text block. I want to see the following after insert:

xxx1yyy
xxx2yyy
xxx3yyy
xxx4yyy

Answer 1

Yes it is.

Steps with mouse:

• Select with mouse the 1 to 4 block.
• Click copy.
• Click between x and y in the first line.
• Click paste.

Steps with keyboard:

• Navigate with arrows just before 1.
• Hold SHIFT and ALT, press 4 times down, one right, release SHIFT and ALT.
• CTRL + C.
• Navigate with arrows between x and y in the first line.
• CTRL + V.

The trick is to ensure that your clipboard doesn't contain new lines after each number. If it does, you will get something like:

xxx1
2
3
4yyy
xxx1
2
3
4yyy
xxx1
2
3
4yyy
xxx1
2
3
4yyy
