Description of Problem:

When copying a snippet of code from a terminal, I 
often wish to NOT include the tabbing, as this 
messes up the code which the snippet is pasted 
into.

Being able to select/copy a SQUARE would make my 
life much easier.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. 
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:

If multiple lines are selected, the *WHOLE* of 
the lines between the first and the last 

Expected Results:

Hold down the alt key while selecting text and a 
BOX is selected instead of entire lines.

How often does this happen? 

All the time :)

Additional Information:

Microsoft Word does this. Press alt and you get a 
square selection tool. Neat, huh?
