Thus it was written in the epistle of Wirt Atmar,

But Wirt, the line modify key (besides being another key to press) changes
other things as well. It is not unusual for me to want to cut and paste 2.7
lines where I want the first 2 lines to have their carriage returns and I do
not want the final line fragment to have one because I'm going to be typing
something after it. Besides, if you are concerned about this being easy for
Windows users to learn (as you have said previously), ought you not then give
them the expected behaviour?
