Description
Need tool to move columns of text left or right. In other editors, this is accomplished using rectangular selection. Is there a method with current features for doing this? I'll admit, I haven't figured out the multicursor mode yet.

BTW, I am quite impressed with the project. I am thinking that I might be compelled to help out with the documentation. ;-)
Oh, as I am sure you know, the name "micro" shares the same web search ambiguity as "Go" does. Have you considered a "standard" enhanced name such as what the Go team did with "golang?"
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the current behavior and documentation for rectangular selection and multicursor mode, then reproduce the requested column movement in the terminal editor. Clarify whether the expected outcome is documenting an existing method or designing a new tool, and define completion around a decided interaction and verified column movement.
