Subject: Speeding up the editing of rectangles
Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2008 13:31:36 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9E067A1AECCB154485D4CF7E4BEF4D8E0A3311D7@post07.corp.seic.com> (raw)

Hi,

Questions about the speeding up of editing rectangles...

In order to add a column to data like the following below, right now I
would:

1. place mark at (x) and point at (y)
2. C-x r t to run (string-rectangle)
3. enter some text
4. hit enter

Is it possible to, instead:
1. place mark at (x) and point at (y)
2. start typing to have text inserted immediately?

Thanks,
Matt
