<p>There is basic support for column mode editing. To use it, create a
rectangular selection by holding down the Control key while selecting
some text. It is also possible to create a zero-column selection but
be careful because there is no visual indication of this selection.
Once a rectangular selection exists you can start editing the text within
this selection and the modifications will be done for every line in the
selection.</p>

Column mode editing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There is basic support for column mode editing. To use it, create a
rectangular selection by holding down the Control key while selecting
some text. It is also possible to create a zero-column selection but
be careful because there is no visual indication of this selection.
Once a rectangular selection exists you can start editing the text within
this selection and the modifications will be done for every line in the
selection.
.. note::
Copying and pasting text with rectangular selections doesn't work.
It might give unexpected results and damage your text.
Drag and drop of text
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
