Hold alt, select the lines you want to column type in and type away.
Thank you! :) I couldn't find it in the help while searching for 'column ' :)
Another way to get column selection is btw to press and then release the option modifier key while there is a normal selection.
And you're right that this is not in the help -- I may do more of a real help book at a later time when I have an idea of what users expect to find there. I placed most "hidden" informations not covered in the help book in the tip of the day window though (which I think does include column-typing and column-movement also).
