Title: Selecting columns of text?
Post by: twgray on August 05, 2011, 05:12:20 pm
Is there a way to select columns of text, rather than selecting entire lines?

hold on the ALT key, and use the mouse to drag the columns.

On my debian machine, I have to use Ctrl+Alt and select with the left mouse-key pressed.

Alt works on Centos, as Ollydbg has described.

I don't say it does not work in general, but it does not work here.
Might be a gnome shortcutr, but Alt + left mouse-button moves the actual window.

Hm, I've remapped this to be win+left (the gnome shortcut), because I need alt+left for another program :)

How did you map it to Win + Left?

Somewhere in the settings, I don't remember any more :)

Alt + left button in Ubuntu moves the whole window.  And, I can't seem to find the selection in Settings to change the key mapping.  Does anyone know how?

As I wrote some posts earlier, using Ctrl + Alt + left button instead works fine here.

EDIT:
You have to remap Alt+ left in your window manager settings, not in C::B.
Ther selection settings can not be changed (easily).
