Nor could I, but I do it by Option-dragging. What I'm talking about is double-tap-the-Option-key to convert a normal selection into a column select.
I'm not saying this is bad; I'm just saying watch out (or warn users to watch out), because playing with this feature can cause a system-level feature to kick in. m.
I wasn’t aware about the system shortcuts so I appreciate the information.
The option key is unlikely going to clash (it’s btw just a single tap), even for people who have the accessibility feature enabled.
The shift thing could in theory clash, in that someone with the feature enabled, using TextMate’s double-tap shift to deselect last (as well), and wanting to quickly deselect the last 3 selections made, which would be 6 consecutive taps of shift, which would then toggle sticky keys.
In practice though, it seems that TextMate’s use of shift clashes with Launchbar, which I am told defaults to use double-tapping shift as it’s activation key.
I haven’t yet decided what should be done about this.
