[ jEdit-devel ] Column Pasting

[Richard A. <ras...@co...>]

I am interested in changing the functionality of the paste when in overwrite 
mode.  I think it should treat the current buffer like a canvas and the paste 
should overwrite any text rather than inserting lines.  This is most noteable 
to me when working in Jedit with Columns or Blocks of Selections.  Holding 
down the Control Key while highlighting allows selections of a block of text, 
but there should be a way to paste that block without inserting lines.  Any 
ideas if this would require a serious modification or if this functionality 
exists and I just missed it.

Regards,
Richard
