Does emacs support multi column editing?

emacs, text-editor

Solution

I'm not sure if this fits your requirements, but you might take a look at Two Column Editing.

Problem

Emacs, like most text editors, supports editing from top to bottom: ``` word1 word2 word3 ``` but, unlike Microsoft Word, I can't figure out how to edit in two columns: ``` col1 col2 word1 word2 word3 word4 Note: Editing in the first column does not change the spacing of the second. ``` Is this possible?
