Or kvim for KDE... Or even vim-part so that it can be embedded in KDE
apps that support the editor part. :D

You mean like vim?
Do this:
5i12345<ret><esc>4kl<CNTL-V>2j2lxp
Or, long form. 5 rows of "12345", go to 2nd row on the 2, hit CNTL-V,
down 2, over 2. You'll now mark the middle block of 9 digits. x deletes it,
p pastes it back in after the 5 so now the middle 3 rows read "15234".
