This is one of those things I miss, too - as well as simple drag-drop 
of selected source.

But!!!

A nice technique is to use the "fill" capability. Put your cursor at 
the top of wherever you want to put the fill characters, then press 
Alt-R (rectangle select). Then put cursor at opposite corner of 
rectangle - or straight down if only one column. Alt-R again - then 
right-click - l - e --- your cursor will be in the command area - put 
in the character you want to fill with - or characters, if you block 
is more than 1 character wide. Press Enter and voila - the block is filled.
