Hi,

I am programming my first 'real' application using FF3 (before I was just playing around with FF).
Having used JellyFish Pro for years, I am a bit spoiled of course...  ;)   One thing I really miss in FF3's code editor is this special feature that JellyFish has, that allows you to copy (and paste) code (text) in a 'rectangular way'.
For those who don't know what I mean, look at the attached screenshot.
That feature is a gigantic time saver for me, so it would be absolutely great if it could be implemented in the FF3 code editor.

Kind regards
Eddy

Yes, usually editors do this when you hold the Alt key.  I use it all the time in Word...goes right along with block comment/indent which is shocking why PB didn't do it in their editor.

This is definitely on my to-do list for the editor. It is a functionality that I dearly miss from the old CodeMax control that I use to use.
