Once word processing and graphical fonts and 'kerning' was introduced, the 'array' became tool that worked within an array of pixels, instead of an array of a fixed number of characters. However, folks using text for program scripts and other purposes may want to have such a mark and cut or mark and edit and replace 'feature'. But most "text editors" *ARE* working with a fixed set of character positions, whether user configurable or not, so it would make sense to me that an 'advanced' editor would include a method to mark and manipulate parts of a text file in a columnar manner. To include a compliant 'clipboard' where the pastebox is defined by the 'clipped' set.

Ah.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geany>
Geany (IPA:ʒeːniː[citation needed]) is a lightweight GUI text editor[3]
using Scintilla and GTK+, including basic IDE features. It is designed
to have short load times, with limited dependency on separate packages
or external libraries on Linux. It has been ported to a wide range of
operating systems, such as BSD, Linux, macOS,[4] Solaris and Windows.
The Windows port lacks an embedded terminal window; also missing from
the Windows version are the external development tools present under
Unix, unless installed separately by the user.[5] Among the supported
programming languages and markup languages are C, C++, C#, Java,
JavaScript, PHP, HTML, LaTeX, CSS, Python, Perl, Ruby, Pascal, Haskell,
Erlang, Vala and many others.[6]
In contrast to traditional Unix-based editors like Emacs or Vim, Geany
more closely resembles programming editors common on Microsoft Windows
such as Notepad++, which also uses Scintilla.[7]
Features
Auto-completion
Multiple document support
Simple project management
Syntax highlighting
Code folding (partially)
Symbol lists
Code navigation
Embedded terminal emulator[9]
Build system to compile and execute code using external tools
Extensible via plugins
Column / block / vertical select (via SHIFT + CTRL + arrow keys)
User configurable keyboard action to editor function mapping[10]
The last line there had me searching, hopping that it could emulate the
keyboard of other editors, but I did not find such a feature.
It seems to support columns.

Then you could check "Kate" too.
Features (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_(text_editor)>)
Kate is a programmer's text editor that features syntax highlighting for
over 200 file formats with code folding rules.[9] The syntax
highlighting is extensible via XML files.[10] It supports UTF-8, UTF-16,
ISO-8859-1 and ASCII encoding schemes and can detect a file's character
encoding automatically.
Kate can be used as a modal text editor through its vi input mode[11]
which emulates a Unix text editor with the same name.
Kate features multiple document interface, window splitting, project
editing[12][further explanation needed] and sessions to facilitate
editing multiple documents. Using sessions, one can customize Kate for
different projects by saving the list of open files, the list of enabled
plug-ins and the window configuration.[13]
For searching and replacing text, Kate features incremental search,
multi-line search and replace and regular expression support. It can
perform search and replace on multiple files.
KDE integration
Being a KDE application, Kate transparently opens and saves files over
all protocols supported by KIO libraries. This includes HTTP, FTP, SSH,
SMB and WebDAV, among others.
Kate is built using the KParts framework; it is a graphical shell around
the editor component, referred to as katepart.[14] This KParts component
is embedded by other KDE programs as well. Kate uses Konsole to get an
embedded terminal.
You can look here for other editors:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_text_editors>
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_text_editors>
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_integrated_development_environments>
CoolEdit is not listed. though.

Heh, using M$ editor on Linux :P Why not? Whatever works best for you is what you should use. I don't see me ever using vim on a regular basis. And, of course, I don't know anything about VSCode.

Systemd is taking Linux in the same developmental > direction. Dude, your relentless crusade against systemd is becoming utterly boring, to the point where I for one find it extremely difficult to take anything you write seriously anymore. I used to be anti-systemd too, because I just couldn't understand WHY it was being adopted at such a fast rate, while it wasn't even production-ready yet. And neither Lennart's smugness on account of other distributions than RedHat nor the political motivations behind systemd's adoption BY other distributions were helping in that regard. But then I decided to look at things from a technical perspective, and apart from the binary logs — which I still don't think is a good idea — systemd does make sense. And now I'm using it, and it does exactly what it says on the label. It works, and it works very well. Yes, it's a different way of doing things. Yes, it does appear as if it's not the traditional UNIX way, but that's just an illusion, because systemd is the name of more than just the init daemon. If you look at how it works, then it IS comprised of small modules that do one thing only, and the "PID = 1" daemon itself is relatively small. If you don't want the binary logs for instance, then it's trivial to disable journald and start another logger like rsyslogd. You are not against systemd because of what it is, but because you are having a knee-jerk reaction over what systemd is NOT. If I were you, I'd be worrying whole heck of a lot more about the corporate-fascist surveillance features in Google Chrome and the way the corporate world at large is regarding each and every one of us as a tradable commodity. There is something very disturbing and brainwashing about the language and innuendos used in the settings of Chrome and Chromium. "My gosh, do you really want to send a "do not track" signal to web sites??? If you do that, then they won't be able to send you ads about things that you might wat to purchase even though you don't need them! Are you sure that you really want that??? Really??? Okay then, enter your password, type Ctrl+Alt+S, followed by SysRq+Z, click three times on the red button, followed by a double-click on the green button, then go outside, take off your clothes and dance five times around a burning candle in the wind. After completing this procedure, Google Chrome will now send a "do not track" signal with your traffic. But if you want to use an ad blocker too, then you must first buy a plane ticket to Timbuktu, say twenty "Hail Mary"'s, hold your breath while tapping the space bar twice with the big toe of your left foot, ..." </hyperbole> Store your data in the cloud, entrust the corporations with your valuable data, pay them to store it, and then they can pull the plug on their cloud storage offer any time "because of changing market demands" and you end up losing all your data. Plus that it gives them a greater ability to track your behavior and — you've guessed it — send you targeted ads. The Dutch film director Paul Verhoeven — known internationally from movies like (the original) "Total Recall", the "Robocop" series and the "Starship Troopers" series — has been trying to warn the world for decades of the upcoming corporate-fascist tech revolution THROUGH his movies. And here we are. Don't even bother talking to anyone at the bus stop anymore, because they've got earbuds in and their eyes are glued to their smartphones. They're zombies. If I were you, I'd start worrying a little more about all of that, than about systemd. systemd isn't perfect, but neither is sysvinit. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater because of the politics that were involved over at other distributions like Debian and Ubuntu. -- With respect, = Aragorn =

GNOME is being developed and maintained over at RedHat, where systemd is being developed, and GTK, and GDM, and pulseaudio, and avahi, and lots of other stuff. It is therefore somewhat understandable that Lennart Poettering asked his colleagues to make logind a hard dependency of GDM. I don't see how he could do the same on account of all the desktop environments and window managers that are NOT being developed over at RedHat. Besides, a separately working version of logind has been developed by the Gentoo people, called elogind, which allows one to use GNOME in non-systemd-based distributions and in *BSD. > Do you enjoy gardening?
