Column Mode Editting

Switching between line mode (normal editting) and column mode. Column mode allows the user to copy, paste, edit, and delete rectangular selections. A number of text editors contain this feature. A good example would be Crimson Editor.

Code::Blocks supports this (as far as wxScintilla does). Hold down the Alt key while selecting.

Yes, there is a bug when pasting rectangular blocks into non-rectangular selections. Don't bother to report that, it is a wxScintilla issue. We cannot and will not fix it. It will eventually be fixed in wxScintilla.
