        • place the cursor before the aaaaa text,
        • press shift+alt and keep it pressed.
        • use the left/right/up/down arrow keys to select the amount of text you want to be copied
        • once you have the text press ctrl+c to copy
        • place the cursor in front of text which needs to be replaced
        • repeat the steps to select the text which should be replaced
        • once done, press ctrl+v to paste the new text.

        You can achieve the same selection by using keep pressing shift+alt and using the mouse.

        Cheers
        Claudia

            @Claudia-Frank 's instructions work just fine for me on your example text.

            1111    55555
            2222    66666
            3333    77777
            4444    88888
            
            
            
            aaaa
            bbbb
            cccc
            dddd

                Note, I posted the example text because maybe others would try @Claudia-Frank 's instructions and comment–does it work or doesn’t it… Posting screenshots like @Black-Yuzia did is okay but better is real text here so that those that want to try it for themselves don’t have to type it in, they can just copy-n-paste.

                  you need to ensure that your initial selection of text is already
                  a rectangular selection (aka the column mode).
                  The kind of behavior you describe happens if you do a normal selection
                  and then paste in column mode.

                  Cheers
