Block selection
Submitted by on Thursday, 15 April, 2010 - 16:38
Hi all,
There are two ways to select a block of text in jedit as far as I know.
1) press [Alt] + [\] to enter block selection mode. Then use [Shift] and the Arrow keys.
2) press [Ctrl] + the Left mouse button.
While these are both useful, I am trying to figure out if there is a way to make a third option
3) [Alt] + Arrow keys
The advantage is that it wouldn't leave you in Block Selection mode like 1, and you wouldn't have
to move your hand to the mouse, like 2.
I tried making a macro of 2, but the macro recording facility won't register mouse events.
Is there a way to do this?
