Column editing

Awesome! I just found a mini video tutorial that shows me how to do one of the last things I was using UltraEdit for.

I use column editing all the time, particularly to re-use data sent to me in a spreadsheet. As I work in cua-mode pretty much all the time, it turns out that lovely column editing is a simple C-[RET] away!

A useful list of key combinations whilst in the mode can be found on CUA mode's website.
