Overwrite cut-and-paste

Question

I want duplicate a line.

I put the cursor at the very start of the line I want to duplicate.

I put VS in Overwrite mode ( NOT INSERT mode )

Using SHIFT-DOWN_ARROW I select the whole line.

Now I hit CTRL-C, CTRL-V, CTRL-V: I have the selected line duplicated (gotcha), but the line that came after has a char less at the starting:

        dim b as boolean

        dim b as boolean

       dim c as integer

Answer 1

Hi,

You don't need to select anything, just hit Ctrl+C and hit Ctrl+V, current line will be duplicated.

Regards.
