visual block select #47

Being able to select a two dimensional block of text. Like in vim, you can use to do this. This functions similar to an in many OS X apps.

Not sure how easy or difficult this is going to be, but I'll definitely look into it.

It looks like at least part of this should make use of NSTextView's multiple selection abilities, which are currently not handled by Vico at all. That same function in NSTextView, with some other work, should also let us work on multiple cursors as, e.g., Sublime does. Not sure when I'm going to look at this, but it might be worth tackling both together? That might be a big piece to bite off though.

I definitely wouldn't be able to get to it for a while, either. Maybe someone else who has a little more familiarity with the codebase could give it a go?
