Start a selection by any means (such as Shift-Right Arrow). Then tap the Option/Alt key. This will toggle between block selection and regular selection. Now you can hold the shift key down and use the arrow keys to extend the block selection.

If I hold down ALT, I can use the mouse to select a rectangular block of text

Just wondering if there is any way to do this using solely the keyboard?

Thanks
