In column mode, typing will type the same thing in all the rows of the column. If you copy/cut in column mode, then you copy/cut a rectangle of text, which can be pasted over an identical-sized rectangle elsewhere, or pasted into a separate document or separate application. This is implemented for making working with rectangles of text (instead of whole lines of text) more convenient.

Multi-Editing mode allows you to make multiple cursor selections by using `Ctrl+Click` for each additional cursor. This allows performing the same editing actions (typing, copy/cut/paste/delete, arrowing through the text) in multiple locations, even if they aren't lined up in a nice column, or even if there are lines between the cursors that you don't want to affect.

Whether or not you can use Multi-Editing mode is determined by the [Settings > Preferences > Editing > ☑ Enable Multi-Editing (Ctrl+Mouse click/selection](../preferences/#editing) checkbox: with it checkmarked, `Ctrl+Click` will add cursor locations; with it not checkmarked, Multi-Editing is disabled.
