Shifting a column left or right using key

Years ago I used IBM PERSONAL EDITOR  (PE) to edit text files.
 One nice option that PE had was that one could mark a rectangle in front of a column of text or data and use the ctrl --> or ctrl <-- to shift the column/ text left or right.  Actually, the function deleted the whitespace or added whitespace to the left of the column.  Once the text or column reached the marked rectangle area the text/data would be deleted a column of characters at a time.

Does anyone have a ELISP function that does this?
