C-h c, ? (describe-key-briefly) may not work here... 

There is documentation describing column editing here... 

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/CUA-Bindings.html

Also, if you type C-? (that is C + SHIFT + /), at any time that a rectangle is active, then you'll get that same list of options...
