#21 Column Editing Capability
Hi,
First of all I'm very impressed with J.
What an outstanding piece of software! :)
Column editing is something I would very much like to
see added. I currently use an older version of Codewrite
now owned by Borland. I can select a region (horizontal
or vertical) and insert or delete as you would any
selected region.
Example:
1. a
2. b
3. c
4. d
I can select the region after '.' and before 'a-d'
and press the space bar to format as follows:
1. a
2. b
3. c
4. d
Simplistic explanation I know...
Is this already possible?
The auto indenting features are very nice but
I'm always needing a little more control.
I'm an ASIC designer and we edit large vector files
often. This is a must for that kind of work as well
as formatting VHDL and Verilog. Codewright is
EXPENSIVE!
Thanks for looking at this request! :)

You might look at the section called "Columns" in the help
system (F1, scroll down a bit).
The exact scenario you're talking about isn't specifically
supported, but the alignStrings command might be of some use
(Alt X, "help alignStrings").
