I’d like actual examples instead of “I work faster”, something like “I can move straight to the middle of the file with 7mv” or “I can keep 4 different text snippets in memory and paste each with a number+pt, like 2pt”, things that you actually use somewhat frequently instead of what you can do, but probably only did once.

    1 is just going to highlight right?

    2, how about 6 words, 10 words, 100 words

    3, 4 I use all the time

    5 if your edit locations don’t line up so that you can alt drag a single column, this is what I mean by jagged. I would use a combination of find and repeat action.

    Start from scratch - skill issue :p

      Yes exactly my point. How often do you need to delete exactly 100 words? Do you count them? Obviously not - you probably guess and delete 50, and then 25 and then 20 etc.
