Hello Could someone suggest me an editor that can copy and paste columns in addition to lines. If Xemacs is one of editors please tell me how.
Yes, as is Gnu-emacs (you mark the beginning row, column using Ctrl-Space move the cursor to the end row, column (or vice versa), then cut the area out using Ctrl-x r k (kill-rectangle) -- and then paste using Ctrl-x r y (yank-rectangle)) very useful.
Hope this helps.
