Try these
The down stroke starts a rectangular mark and the upstroke copies (F3) or cuts (shift F3).
Use control F3 to paste the rectangle (as a rectangle).

kd f3  msg ' Rectangular copy, use f3c to paste';dr;echo -r;kd f3u xc -r rectangle @ke ke
kd f3s msg ' Rectangular cut, use f3c to paste'; dr;echo -r;kd f3u xd -r rectangle @ke ke
kd f3c xp -r rectangle;kd f3u ke@; ke
kd f3u ke
