Notepad++ is a great, free, text editor with some pretty snazzy features. I have been using it for a couple of years now. You can download it
here. I found a cool little shortcut in Notepad++ that enables you to do column mode editing:
Alt + [left mouse drag]
Nifty!

Great little tidbit! Thanks for posting it!
Nice find. Just wanted to mention that I think it allows column-selecting, not column-editing. e.g. We can't add a line just in the column. Now *that* would be nifty.
Update:
NotePad++ now has full column editing. It allows column text selection/insertion of text (what ever you type) or insertion of increasing numeric sequence with padding options.
Yes, it is fantastic.
Great, column editing is a great feature, thanks for telling us the way to use it.
update:
also works for keyboard
alt+shift+up/down arrow key
