Just something I stumbled across by accident. Maybe most folks already know, maybe some dont so I'll share.

hold down alt+shift and either drag the mouse or use the arrow keys to make a column based selection. Very cool for grabbing a bunch of start tags or removing/adding space on a bunch of lines.

You know, we use third party component for handling the text editing and it seems that it had this feature without us knowing about it :shock:

In the next version it will be officially available also via menus.
