You can use `org-table-copy-region' and `org-table-paste-rectangle' to copy and paste cells from a table. Moving to cells at the same time, either up/down/left/right is not supported, you can only move one cell or row at a time, not a region. To select multiple cells vertically, you might also want to check C-x SPC. HTH, -- Bastien
