Hi, with the textmarks you can select a region (row oriented selection comes as consequence) but to select a column means to have multiple "start selection" marks and "end selection" marks, the problem is that when I set a "start selection" mark I automatically remove the previous "start selection" mark that was set. I don't think that I can have multiple separed selections in the same textbuffer... am I wrong? Giuseppe.
