InsertFillColumnsFromClipboard
There is the command Insert/fill columns in menu Columns (traditional menus) or in menu Edit (contemporary menus) or ribbon tab Edit (ribbon mode) for inserting a string in column mode on all lines selected or on all lines from current caret position up to last line of file. See help page Insert/Fill Columns command in help of UltraEdit for details on this command. And see also Advanced - Settings or Configuration - Editor - Column mode where insert/overstrike behavior can be defined for column mode.
The script InsertFillColumnsFromClipboard.js makes it possible to quickly insert a string in clipboard into all lines selected in column mode using this command with a single keystroke. It additionally extends the command. Read the comments at top of script file for details.
This script can be downloaded from Macros & Scripts page being listed there with title Insert/Fill Columns with string from clipboard.
InsertStringsInSelectedColumns
The script InsertStringsInSelectedColumns.js is for inserting multiple strings/lines from clipboard into the lines selected in column mode similar to Paste command, but with some differences.
This script can be downloaded from Macros & Scripts page being listed there with title Insert strings in selected columns from clipboard.
The line and block comments can be removed from both script files by running a replace all (from top of file) searching with Perl regular expression for ^ *//.+[\r\n]+|^ */\*[\s\S]+?\*/[\r\n]+| +//.+$ and using an empty replace string. The first part in this OR expression with three arguments matches entire lines containing only a line comment, the second part matches block comments, and third part matches line comments right to code. Removal of the comments makes the usage of these scripts more efficient on using them often because of JavaScript interpreter has to interpret less characters and lines.
