I don't know if your message was alluding to you already doing this, but what you can do:
1. Highlight code you want to copy with Alt-R
2. Paste/Overlay that highlighted code using Alt-Z
Maybe that's what you were referring to in regard to adding in Mod IDs. These steps are how I generally apply the mod number to a line.

I've used the "selected" options with ALT-R a lot, but I've never got to grips with pasting. I'd like to paste the clipboard contents into the ALT-R area (so the clipboard contents is placed over the selected area rather than inserts). Anyone know if this is possible and I've just missed the correct option?
The ALT-R selection is good for indenting whole blocks of /FREE RPG (using CTRL-F7 and CTRL-F8 to shift the selected blocks of text left/right), and I use ALT-R to insert the same 5 character modification ID over several rows at once on a nearly daily basis.

there are a whole bunch of commands related to Alt-R - do a right-click in the editor and look at the "Selected" item - in there you see lots you can do with the selection - copy, move, delete, overlay with it - my favorite, actually, upper and lower case.
These are a different set from the regular Windows ones of Ctrl-X, V, C
- seems sometimes things get mixed amongst them - but they're great tools.
Besides Google and F4, right-click is your friend!

Question: You list Alt+R for rectangle select. Is there such a thing
as rectangle paste, or is Alt+R only useful for deleting blocks of text?
btw, thanks. Great guide. )
