I would suggest an improvement in the editor ... i use the netbeans6.7.1 in WindowsVista64Bits and i do not know if this feature does not exist in other versions. I would suggest the function of selecting the text in blocks ... also called a vertical selection, programs such as textpad do it when you hold the ALT key.
