In 'list' mode, Virtual Replace mode acts as if it was not in 'list' mode,
unless "L" is in 'cpoptions'.
-Note that the only times characters beyond the cursor should appear to move
-are in 'list' mode, and occasionally when 'wrap' is set (and the line changes
-length to become shorter or wider than the width of the screen), or
-momentarily when typing over a CTRL character. A CTRL character takes up two
-screen spaces. When replacing it with two normal characters, the first will
-be inserted and the second will replace the CTRL character.
+Note that the only situations for which characters beyond the cursor should
+appear to move are in List mode |'list'|, and occasionally when 'wrap' is set
+(and the line changes length to become shorter or wider than the width of the
+screen). In other cases spaces may be inserted to avoid following characters
+to move.
This mode is very useful for editing <Tab> separated columns in tables, for
entering new data while keeping all the columns aligned.
