- I fell in love with brief the first time I used it. My favorite feature
- is the collum cut and paste, this is a feature I have not found on any
- other dos editor. I find the block cut and paste functions to be
- extremely simple and efficent. These are both features I use a lot and
- the simple keystrokes make editing a joy instead of a chore.
-
- I am sure there must be many DOS editors which support rectangles. My editor,
- JED, has:
-
- copy_rect : copies rectangle to rectangle buffer but does not delete
- insert_rect : inserts rectangle from rectangle buffer at point
- kill_rect : deletes a rectangle but puts a copy in the rectangle buf
- blank_rect : overwrites a rectangle at point with blanks
- open_rect : inserts a blank rectangle at point
