      Insert a Clipboard string in any Column position.

      Sample.
      =====new 1=====
      foo
      bar
      baz
      qux
      quux

      =====Clipboard=====
      111
      222
      333
      444
      555
      666
      777

      First, move the cursor to the insertion position.
      Ex. Cursor Position Ln 1,Col 2.

      Menu -> Edit -> Paste Special -> Insert the clipboard at the cursor position.

      =====new 1=====
      foo
      ba111r
      ba222z
      qu333x
      quu444x
      555
      666
      777

      Other Menu
      Menu -> Edit -> Paste Special -> insert the clipboard at the cursor position + Space.
      insert the clipboard at the cursor position + TAB.
      insert the clipboard at the cursor position + Comma.

      Thank you for your consideration.

        Hello Venix Derect,

        this can already be done using column-mode-editing.

        Cheers

            I’m not sure about Venix’s example as I think my N++ version is too old to have the specific Paste Special item mentioned, but in the solution Claudia gave it is worth pointing out that if the clipboard data has not been cut/copied AS A COLUMN BLOCK, it won’t paste with the desired effect.

            So, if the clipboard data comes from another program, say, it won’t paste as desired for sure. The technique then would be to paste somewhere temporarily in a N++ editor window, then invoke column mode, then cut the data just pasted, then finally do the desired paste at the final location.
