Feature request: rectangular selection / extending the cursor #2757

Many text editors allow to extend the cursor vertically, to give a couple of examples:

Visual Studio Code: Ctrl + Shift + Up/Down
Notepad++, Notepad3, Kate: Alt + Ctrl + Up/Down

This allows to input/delete in multiple rows at once. Those two shortcuts are already taken, but Alt + Shift + Up/Down isn't. Apologies if this feature has been asked before or if it's already present and I can't find it, and thank you for the excellent program.

Thank you for your feature request. I'm not sure how easy this could be done in a QPlainTextEdit...
