in reply to A lovely (soon crossplatform) Perl editor.

Nice job! Does it have a "column copy" utility? I couldn't find it in my quick peruse of the on-line help.

      I'm still pretty unfamiliar with your editor, but I think the "alt-key" is not what I mean.

      Think of a block of text like this:

      a1b2c1d1e1
      a2b2c2d2e2
      a3b3c3d3e3

      I want to be able to make a selection like:

      c1
      c2
      c3

      No matter what is in the columns selected. Does this help you to understand?

      BTW your English is much better than my German!
        thanks i hear it frequently, by english is clearly selfeducated by \.

        This sounds for me exactly like rectangular selection. this will be in next release possible with keyboard too(hold alt+shift) but currently you should like i suggested hold Alt-Button and select this area with the mouse. than you can tread it like normal selection cut or copy or move by mouse. only the insertion isnt still perfect. it creates new lines and cant insert it in other lines but that feature will come too due its one of the fovourite of our designer.

        please feel always free for suggesttions etc. thanks
