Paste a rectangular block in Visual Studio

Question

Is there a way to paste a rectangular block in Visual Studio (2017, for example)?

The only way I can do it now is paste first the values, and then "surround" the values column with from left and right, like this:

Answer 1

If I understand your question correctly, you can hold Shift + Alt to select a block with the keyboard.

Copy the block from within Visual Studio and then use Shift + Alt again to select the column you want to paste it to. You can then paste it. The same as you would in Notepad++.

If you want to use the mouse you only need to hold the Alt key.

Update for VS Code:

In VS Code it seems to require the mouse. Click to the beginning of what you want to copy, press and hold Shift+Alt then click to the end of what you want to copy. Then release the keys and copy. When pasting, do the same for the column you want to insert.
