If you drag text and hold option, it will instead copy (rather than move), here you need to hold down option to keep it at that state -- TextMate follows that behavior.
I view column selection as similar “state modifier.”
I can't get used to it :/
For me column and line selection are so different, that they're separate operations. And I associate "dropping file" with releasing mouse, but "selecting text" with pressing it.
Can you change behavior of selection to match XCode?
It might even be TM-compatible: * if option was held when mouse button was pressed, force selection mode to be columnar * if option wasn't held when mouse button was pressed, use current TM toggling behavior
