Block selection does not work as expected

[Enrico68]

I want to change this block of text

http://www.plosone.org/article/feed/search?unformattedQu
http://www.plosone.org/article/feed/search?unformattedQuery=subject%
http://www.plosone.org/article/feed/search?unformattedQuery=subject%3A%2

into this

"http://www.plosone.org/article/feed/search?unformattedQu"
"http://www.plosone.org/article/feed/search?unformattedQuery=subject%"
"http://www.plosone.org/article/feed/search?unformattedQuery=subject%3A%2"

According to the instruction you can surround in visual-state with s<textobject><trigger> . But what you get is :

"http://www.plosone.org/article/feed/search?unformattedQu
http://www.plosone.org/article/feed/search?unformattedQuery=subject%
http://www.plosone.org/article/feed/search?unformattedQuery=subject%3A%2"

surround.vim has the same behavior. It surround the entire block, not each line. AFAIK

I'm Sorry, didn't know you were talking about a visual block. C-v.

@Enrico68 I have a first draft at implementing that functionality. After a first late night test, seems to work. Give it a go if you like. test

P.S: The code is really ugly.

@Ramapitecus I tried but it looks as before or at least this was what I have done C-v-j-j-$-S-"
screen.

That's strange. It works here. Maybe you are using an older version of evil. That happened to me in issue #41. I'm pressing exactly the same keys, and using you sample text.
