features.

Insert and Overstrike modes are also supported
in the Text.pm module. Pressing the <Insert>
key will toggle modes back and forth.

Column based copy/cut/paste features are also
available in the Text.pm module. They are bound
to the following keys:

<F1> clipboardColumnCopy
<F2> clipboardColumnCut
<F3> clipboardColumnPaste

Currently, column based operations are beta versions.
They compensate for tabs, but they will not behave
properly unless the text is all the same font, and
is the same width per character.

Hopefully some future version of Text.pm will correct
for this deficiency.

Column paste should work with overstrike mode.
