Description tambi 2008-10-15 14:46:07 UTC
Like in jBuilder you should allow vertical selecting, selecting while dragging mouse on more than one line while
pressing the Alt key need to select according to the mouse position, now it's selecting the whole line.
this feature exist also in many editors even in MS Word.

Hi, this is a very commonly requested feature. There is a NB plugin called "Rectangular Edit Tools" - you
might want to try it;)...

(You might need to use search on the plugin page...)

With regards,
