    Is there a Column-Mode or Rectangle-Mode in notepad++?

    e.g. When I want comment or uncommend 20 lines of code it would be very helpful when it was possible to mark them and just placing 2 slashes in front of them with 2 /-keystrokes. Or to uncomment the block with two backspaces.

    before:
    for (how often)
    {
        command 1;
        command 2;
        command 3;
        command 4;
    }

    after:
    // {
    //     command 1;
    //     command 2;
    //     command 3;
    //     command 4;
    // }

    UltraEdit has solved these problems very helpful. Several-lines simultaneously writing, deleting or working with rectangles of text works wonderful.

      You can use the comment/uncomment function
      You can make a rectangular selection by maintaining the alt key when doing selection, but it is helpful only for delete. Column mode of np++ is not unfortunately as helpful than in ultraedit
