I would love to be able to do block oriented copy/paste.

For example:
d Field1          s                 1a
d Field2          s                 3p  0
d Field..n         s                 7p  2

I'd like to be able to paste the block of field names like this:
         Field1    
         Field2    
         Field..n  

And then add to the end of each line - which may also be a block copy/paste.  Easy in SEU with Windows copy/paste.

I gather it's a base Eclipse limitation as I haven't been able to Google-ify a solution.

One of those issues is errors during the binding step. The other is the quirky implementation of copying/pasting a blocks of text (overlaying) like you can do with SEU.
