I love column typing, but i dont use it as much as i want because I rarely have things formated in a way that'll allow using it. I think it'd be great to be able to just alt-click a bunch of places to enable column typing (no need to be the same char. num in each line), and do the column typing in the places you clicked (of course then it wouldnt really be *column* typing, but i think it's a very intuitive enhancement...)
