Hi,
Is it possible to do a "columnar selection" with the keyboard only? Hold Alt while moving the cursor would be the logical shortcut for such a thing I think (it doesn't seem to be used for other things?).
I don't use the tabs (ie. they're hidden) whenever I have a project open (in the project drawer), is it possible to navigate up/down in the projectdrawer with the keyboard?

Yes, when you have selected some text, press and release alt once, and it'll switch to column mode -- this also temporarily enables freehanded movement, so that the caret can be moved past end-of-line etc.
Another handy accelerator is alt up/down which moves the caret to the begin/end of the current column. E.g. if you have:
foo bar fud
And the caret is in front of “foo”, press alt-shift-down, and it'll move the caret down in front of “fud” (and select), press alt-shift-right and then single click alt. Now you have the 3 rows selected in column mode.

Yes, but only by moving focus to the project drawer (using alt-tab) -- you select/open files by pressing return.

Ah, those are perfect!

Yes, but only by moving focus to the project drawer (using alt-tab) -- you select/open files by pressing return.
it was ctrl+alt+tab (alt+tab is indent) on my system, and I have to cycle through the buttons at the bottom of the drawer, so it's not as fast as I could wish for, but it still beats switching to the mouse!
Thanks. -- johan

Sorry, ctrl-tab -- this should skip the buttons.
Use shift-tab to get back to the editor.

That is exactly the behaviour I experienced in my system.
Is this correct?
