Aye, I am somewhat aware of the shift stuff in vi, but what I am after
is sort of the same but different... If you for example rectangular
select the middle 'column' in the following in Nedit:  (eg: in the
first line it would be 'blah.')

   fred.blah.pl
   mary.john.pl
   fred.blah.pl
   mary.john.pl
   fred.blah.pl
   mary.john.pl
   fred.blah.pl

You can then press <Ctrl>9 a few times and quickly get this:

   blah.fred.pl
   john.mary.pl
   blah.fred.pl
   john.mary.pl
   blah.fred.pl
   john.mary.pl
   blah.fred.pl

In what I do I am often fiddling about with such blocks of filenames
(1000's of medical imaging files that need filename "homogenising").

Note that geany has a funky "comumn mode editing" thing that Nedit
doesn't, so it too I have learnt to like:

Most handy!
