Description Jaap A. Haitsma 2004-08-01 18:26:05 UTC 
It would be nice to be able to select a rectangle of characters. For example by
holding down Ctrl during the time you make the selection.

This is sometimes very handy if you have a file containing columns of data or
indentation you don't like

Copy and pasting then also should support this
