Selecting and Replacing Columns/Blocks of Text in Eclipse

In Eclipse (I’m using Eclipse June 4.2.2 at the moment), it is possible to select columns/vertical blocks of text by using Alt+Shift+A to switch to block selection mode. You can then drag over a column/block of text. With a block selected, typing text will replace the selected text in all of the selected rows.
