Did you realize you can select text vertically? All you have to do is hold down the Alt key, and you can make a vertical selection.
For example, I want to delete the first two words from each item in this list, so I hold down the Alt key and make a selection around the area:
Now I can cut, copy, or just delete the selection.
You can make a vertical selection anywhere in the document, not just with lists. It’s probably more useful when dealing with a similar scenario.
