Geany has block/column selection like Kate, but with Geany is possible not only selecting, copying, pasting and deleting in column mode, but also WRITING in column mode, a feature that Kate doesn't support. <br>The column mode writing is very useful for us when we have to edit coordinates file for example. This feature make Geany very similar to Notepad++ (only for Windows) or to UltraEdit (commercial software).<br><br>I'm testing this software and I'm very satisfied. If other users would test Geany in these days, we could think to add it in ArcheOS very soon. Debian package already exists, so the replacement wouldn't be difficult for us.<br><br>Bye <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">Denis<br></font></span></div>
