delete column
Submitted by amwt on Friday, 27 January, 2006 - 08:28
How do I delete the leftmost column, 1 character wide, from selected lines? I often need to strip ">" quote marks from messages forwarded to me. In bbedit, I use "decrease quote level". Thanks.

rectangular selection

to do this kind of things, I use the rectangular selection feature. That is, go to menu Edit,more selection,rectangular selection to activate (for use via keyboard), or hold down 'ctrl' while selecting with the mouse. Then, after you selected the column to delete, press del or backspace and that's it!
