Recipe 6.7. Selecting Text Vertically in JOE
6.7.1 Problem
You've laboriously created a table and want to move
the columns around. That is, you want to select a section of text
vertically—for example, the first word on several lines, or
chunks of text in the middle of several lines, or a column.
6.7.2 Solution
Use JOE's rectangle mode.
The command ^T X turns on rectangle mode. Use
^K B and ^K K to select a
block of text, then do with it as you will.
