Detailed steps to reproduce the problem
- Started Copy mode
- Placed the cursor at column 4 of a row
- Enabled rectangular copy by pressing "C" then "v".
- Pressed the down arrow.
What happened
The selection extended downward to the character in column 3 of the row below, but included columns 1 and 2, which it should not have for a proper rectangular selection.
What should have happened
The down arrow should expand the selection downward, starting in the same column the selection began in. Otherwise, this should be renamed to "Copy to cursor" or something similar. A proper rectangular selection mode would be very helpful though.
