How to Select Text Vertically

Vertical selection, also known as column selection, is a powerful feature in modern text editors that allows users to select text vertically, rather than the traditional horizontal selection. This feature is particularly useful when working with data that is arranged in columns, such as tables, spreadsheets, or code.

This feature can save a significant amount of time and effort compared to manually selecting each column individually, and can increase productivity and efficiency when working with large blocks of text.

Please note that vertical selection is only available in SynEdit text engine.
