      Hello

      Is there a simple method to move multiple lines set at one (tabbed) position to another (tabbed) position. I mean to do this:

      Make this arrangement:
      1st Heading 2nd Heading 3rd Heading
      AAAAAAAAAAAA BBBBBBBBBBBBB CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
      AAAAAAAAAAAA BBBBBBBBBBBBB CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
      AAAAAAAAAAAA BBBBBBBBBBBBB CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

      Into this arrangement:
      1st Heading 2nd Heading 3rd Heading
      AAAAAAAAAAAA BBBBBBBBBBBBB CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
      AAAAAAAAAAAA BBBBBBBBBBBBB CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
      AAAAAAAAAAAA BBBBBBBBBBBBB CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
      ie. move column two n tabs to the right to align to the column heading.

      I’m hoping there is a simple way to do this in the column editing mode.
      Thnk you.

        welcome to the notepad++ community, @Æþelleo-Durkin240

        to my eyes, both of your text samples look the same.
        please use ``` as starting and ending lines, and paste your notepad++ content in between them.

        example template:

        ```
        paste your code here
        ```

        your result will now look like this:

        paste your code here
        

        this will preserve all tabs and spaces you use.

        note: you will notice a panel to the right of where you are typing.
        this is your preview panel, which will show you in advance, before submitting, how others will see your post.
