Feature Request: Column editor like in Visual Studio 2015

[Montago]

In Visual Studio 2015 you can hold down ALT and select multiple lines to edit multiple columns.

you can also arbitrary select text in columns the same way, delete it or replace it.

Its WAAAAAAY EASIER than creating more cursors like in VSCODE.

Column Editing like in VS2015 improve productivity,

MAKE IT SO... please :)

Use Alt+Mouse Click or Alt+Shift+Arrow. Worked in my version 1.16.1
