    It would be great if a feature was added that made it possible to do horizontal highlighting with the mouse like in n edit. nedit allows the user to highlight in 2d. Its a very handy feature.

    As an example:

    function(argument1, 0, 0)
    function(argument2, 0, 1)
    function(argument3, 1, 0)
    function(argument4, 1, 1)

    This feature would allow one to highlight only arguments1-4 without highlighting the function name,  the parenthesis, or the other arguments, and lets one cut or copy (or paste). The resulting paste would look like:

    argument1
    argument2
    argument3
    argument4

    note: In n edit, this is done but pushing Crtl while lighlighting with the mouse.

      In Notepad++, this is done by pressing Alt while highlighting with the mouse.

      (And has been since, oh, version 3 or so.)
