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.
