      I have a long file and want to delete characters leaving the other characters on the row in place and moving characters from next rows up. eg: Deleting first two characters on third line.

      22222222
      33333333
      44444444
      55555555
      66666666

      11111111

        1. delete your characters
        2. put the cursor into the next line, press and hold shift+alt
        3. click with the mouse into the position of the last line holding the data to be move
        4. ctrl+x
        5. go up to the line with the initial delete chars
        6. ctrl+v

        Took longer this to write than to do.

        Cheers
