It's simple:
- Hold the Alt key and select the B lines as columns
- Cut or Copy the selection (Ctrl-x or Ctrl-c)
- Hold Alt and select the column to the right of the As
- Paste (Ctrl-v)

It didn't work pressing ctrl+c, but then I hovered over Edit , over paste option and it worked Commented May 6, 2013 at 19:11

@Theta30 What are you talking about? You cannot hover over anything when you hold the Alt pressed!– ValCommented Oct 9, 2013 at 11:48

@Val you can hover if you keep on your finger over the left click-works better with a mouse Commented Oct 10, 2013 at 2:57

Exactly what I need to do too. I did steps 1 to 3 above but when I paste in step 4 only the line is merged properly (with A followed by B). All remaining B text is appended behind the bottommost A line. Commented Aug 29, 2014 at 17:36
