    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.
