Column editing, rectangular selection

[andreikop]

How often do you use it in real coding?

[vi]

Sometimes. I often intentionally keep the code lined up vertically (by providing extra spaces inside lines) to make it easier to read and edit.

For example, if you have

doSomething(56       ,"qwert"           );
doSomething(43534    ,""                );
doSomething(-44      ,"4"               );
doSomething(123      ,"qwsssssssssssert");

and want

doSomething("qwert"           ,56       );
doSomething(""                ,43534    );
doSomething("4"               ,-44      );
doSomething("qwsssssssssssert",123      );

it is convenient to use rectangular editing.

Actually I want this feature to be extended to "multi-cursor" feature, like I seen in Sublime.

Does rectangular QScintilla selection allow to do any actions except copy, cut, paste, delete? Which actions are necessary for rectangular selection?

Multicursor edit is more advanced feature, will be done separately.
