Resharper and ViEmu Keybindings ( and Visual Assist )

With ViEmu you really need to unbind a lot of resharpers keybindings to make it work well. Does anyone have what they think is a good set of keybindings that work well for resharper when using ViEmu? What I'm doing at the moment using the Visual Studio bindings from Resharper. Toasting all the conflicting ones with ViEmu, and then just...

How do I insert text at beginning of a multi-line selection in VI/VIM?

In vim, how would I go about inserting characters at the beginning of each line in a selection?

Text editors with "vim mode"?

I've been looking at trying to learn vim for a while now, I've come across ViEmu through stackoverflow, and I read the very motivating article: Why, oh WHY, do those #?@! nutheads use vi?

What's the point of viEmu plugin for Visual Studio?

This may sound a bit provocative but it actually is a real question. Feel free to edit if you don't like the tone.

Is it possible to se a macro in .viemurc for ViEmu?

I am using the ViEmu plugin for VS2008. I was wondering if there is a way to set a macro in the .viemurc file, so I don't have to redo it every time I start up VS. I know that it can be done in regular Vim via: :let @s="0ftwwy$bp" This will set a macro on register 's' for example. Doing the same in .viemurc so far just got me an er...

How to select a rectangular area in visual block mode (Ctrl+v) in empty file (vim)?

I can easily select a rectangular area in a file provided this area contains text or spaces (or anything). I do it with visual block mode and motion keys. But when I try to create such area in a new file (or any file without text) I can't. Is there a way to 'expand' this area by automatically filling it with spaces for example? Or am I ...
