It would be really slick if you could add block copy/paste, similar to what unix editor nedit has. You hold down ctrl-z and left click and drag to grab a rectangle of text. Then you can paste it in as a rectangle if you highlight a rectangle using ctrl-z.

Thanks

You can do block copy/paste now.

1. Turn off Configure|Word Wrap
2. Turn on Configure|Block Select Mode
3. Point, and drag to select the block to copy, and copy it (CTL-C)
4. Move cursor to top left corner for pasting, and paste (CTL-V).
