Keyboard Mappings is all about this.
User can configure it to his working habits.
What is the issue there ?

:-) Very well said...
I would like if you come up with a thought how to
go beyond end of line in Qt. It is a very simple feature
in almost all major editors, including xMate and MultiEdit,
rest I don't know.
I can accomplish only to the extent base API allows.
Yet I could mange to implement "column" selections. Also
"persistency" is never a feature of cut/copy operations.
So to achieve all this, it had been a bumpy ride, probably
some Windows GUI developer may be able to comment
on this point more accurately.

It has two modes and those I explained are inbuilt
in Qt, stream == inbuild, line == quiet easy.
Also in GUI mode you have two ways, keyboard and mouse,
increasing the complexity.
You can configure it in Keyboad Mappings, API is there.
