Preditor (EvaTac Software) performs just the rectangular cutting and pasting
you are describing.  I have been using Preditor since it first came out,
and it's been my favorite text/programming editor so far.  I highly
recommend it if you need an editor such as this.  Plus, it's fairly
inexpensive (I believe it's still around $65), and also has a built in macro
language that is pretty powerful.
