Thank you for trying!

For character-based movement, simply press 'z' to enter the column mode.

Regarding the built-in tutor, yes I really have to put in the effort, because it's so much harder than authoring documentation.

And yes, a lot more has to be improved, Ki needs a lot of polishing around the edges.

I did eventually find this in the documentation, under the "regexp selections" section. I think it should be more prominently displayed in other sections, since it's a natural thing to want (at first).

I am enjoying the editor (as a current helix user), and looking forward to trying it more.
