Re: Column Copy/Move/Paste in RDi

If you like, although off-topic a bit, maybe add the other Alt-* commands -

Alt-D   Delete
Alt-K   Uppercase
Alt-I    Lowercase

All these are available with the right-click menu in any editor window.

There are also a couple really nice bits in that menu - Filter for the 
selection, exclude the selection, find next instance of selection, and 
fill selection.

Right-click is our friend!!
