title: How do you use selected vertical blocks in Visual Studio 2008 and 2010?
body: <p>I get that you can select a vertical block in Visual Studio 2008 (alt-drag), but I don't understand how you use it once it's selected.</p>
  
  <p>How do you:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Move the selection point inside the block and have the text you're typing get inserted on every line simultaneously?</li>
  <li>Move the block one space to the right/left</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Or can you just copy/delete the selection?  I assumed when I saw the ability to select that it was something like TextMate's vertical blocks, but maybe it's just not as advanced as that.</p>
  
  <p>New behavior (as of VS2010 RC - added 13 Feb 2010): </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>You can now type in the selection and have the same thing show up on every line.</li>
  <li>Tab moves the selected block</li>
  </ul>
