Ability to select and paste columns from/to editors (like the Structure Editor)

[Wall-AF]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When manually creating vftable structs, having the actual function address in the "Comments" column (currently) helps when want/needing to add references where they're actually called from.

These addresses can be easily generated from the data in the vftable instance (+ some reformatting), but have to be typed/cut'n'pasted in each indivdual field!

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to vertically select elements in an editors column and paste values into them. (Optionally the pasted values could be placed in 1 of 3 ways:

1. replace existing values;
2. prepend existing values; or
3. append to existing values)

Describe alternatives you've considered
Laborious typing/cut'n'pastng!

I'm having a hard time envisioning a generic action we could make that would be generally useful. Typically in cases like this we recommend the user create a script. In this example, I could see creating a script that would use the current structure you are on, ask for input using a text area, with each line being an update to the comment. The area could have all existing comments available for edit. Once the user makes the edits, the script would then update the structure.

I just looked around. Unfortunately, we don't have any good examples I could find of the few steps you would need to make a script like this. It would be nice if someone from the community would chime in and offer some scripting code here.

Converting this to a discussion for future scripting talk.
