Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
In Sublime Text on Linux I can press and hold Shift, then right-click and hold and drag to column select, selecting multiple columns and rows of text, aligned in the columns. This is a type of multi-cursor/multi-select support. Please add this feature in micro.
