The Windows POV editor allows you to do that stuff, as does TextPad and the 
MSVS IDE editor, in fact pretty much any editor I've tried that isn't 
notepad allows this.

The standard seems to be to hold down Alt while dragging out a selection 
rectangle, then when you type (or hit backspace) it does that action to 
every line in the selection.  Try it in POV to see how it works.
