Description
Allow the user to mark a rectangular part of the text and then whatever is being edited on one line should be repeated in all the other lines.
(In vi it is Ctrl-v to swtich to blockwise Visual mode and the Shift-i to start the editing that will be repeated)

Rectangular editing in Padre can be done using shift-alt and then use the arrow keys. That's already implemented in scintilla by default.
From yellowbrain STC docs,
"If <ALT> is pressed while selecting text, then the selection is forced to be rectangular. See SelectionIsRectangle? for a way to detemine the type of selection programmatically."
We could add an option to simplify that to the user.

I am closing this one since it is already implemented by Scintilla by default. Please re-open if you think otherwise. I also added it as "Rectangular Selection" in wiki:Features.
Have a nice day :)

I would like to see this working with keyboard only. (no mouse)
