I want to select and left align the a,b,c column.<br>

Select the a,b,c column with keyboard or control+click+drag with <br>
mouse and then press control+f to find in the selection: replace the <br>
regular expression ^\s+ with nothing. That will remove all leading <br>
spaces in the column, thereby left aligning them.<br>

<tt>Hi, </tt><tt>did You try it? The search string "^\s+" does only
work, when the </tt><tt>rectangular selection begins at line start.
And in every case the following characters in each line are effected.<br>
<br>
I'd think, actually it isn't possible with core or plugin actions to
align text inside a </tt><tt>rectangular selection without changing
the text outside the selection. I also didn't see a macro yet that does
the job.<br>
