Rectangular/Column Selections Using The Keyboard?
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 19 January, 2004 - 16:59
Hello. I am new to Jedit so if this is already implemented somewhere, I'd appreciate a pointer...

From what I can see in the docs, the only way to perform column selections is to use the mouse. Is there any way to accomplish this with the keyboard alone?

If there is any way to implement this using a plugin, I am willing to give it a shot. I just have no idea where/how to begin.

Thanks,

David

Hi,

you can switch on and off the "Rectangular Selection" in Edit -> "More Selection" -> "Rectangular Selection". You can bind a key to it in "Global Options" -> "Shortcuts".

Hint: There is an online help in jEdit.

Thanks,

I'm sorry, I didn't think about this. I'm using 4.2pre8 and the switch is not present in 4.1final.
