Yes, it is alive, but if I have to guess then I think others just like me are not sure what kind of columns are you asking about. Can you elaborate?

Try holding the Ctrl key while you select as normal with the mouse, this goes into column mode, if that's not quite what you mean you may have to describe it better.

The image "speaks" for itself. Column mode, yes. Doesn't work "holding the Ctrl key while you select as normal with the mouse".

In Notepad++ if i make a block selection and start to write code, it replace all lines with that code.

I do not say that webuilder is bad. No, is great, but in simple thinkgs like that I think it fails.

Sorry for my bad behavior from the past :(

Come on, seriously? :D

Press and hold Alt key and then do mouse select to select blocks of text. (Not Ctrl key) You can select single block at a time. Column select does not work in combination with word wrap as it would make no sense.

Also note, if Constraint cursor to text option is checked in Preferences window, then you can mark blocks only starting and ending on solid text lines.

Thanks for the answer.
Constraint cursor to text is unchecked.
[Alt] works.
But (for example):
If I want to select five <li> and replace them with <li class="something"> I want to write once not five times.
In Notepad++ that is possible.

Sory for my english.

By the way!

In Notepad++ column/block mode works in combination with word wrap and make sense.

Aren't you just bloating the code with that method. Apply the 'class' to the <ul> and then create your CSS rules accordingly.

No, I am not. I can have different classes for <li>. Doesn't work your approach in my project.
