Differences

Compared to the normal column selection in Atom, this does the following:

• Allows reversing direction (go down a few lines, if you go one too many just go up one).
• Added Page and Document jumps.
• Skips rows that are too short.
• If you start at the end of a line, then it will stay at the end of each line.
• Handles tab characters.
