how do I make a zero-width column selection
- Place caret in the first line.
- Hold the shift key and press the down arrow to the last line
in your desired selection 3. Tap the option key to switch the selection into column mode.
Thanks James: perfect. The help suggests using different the option modifier key at the same time (grows the selection down as far as it can), and when I tried it it did not work, but I think the timing for pressing and releasing the option key is quite essential.
Thanks again... No to be able to move a column selection to the start of some lines, or to the ragged ends of lines...
