[pygtk] text buffer - pygtk (or source buffer - pygtksourceview buffer) column selection or block selection or rectangular selection

[Smartboy]

Well, technically, the selection is just a textmark. All textmarks do is
record a position. I guess you could do the same by activating a function
via a gesture that tracks the mouse and simulates this using texttags
(formatting), but by default I don't think there is a way to do that.
