Re: Column Select
Make sure soft wrap is disabled (off) when trying to make the selection... common issue...

Column Select
Am I missing something or this option has been changed? I am trying to do a column select in 10.0.1 and it is not working. Hold Option key and drag the mouse, right? That's what the manual says. But I am not getting any difference in selection behavior whether I hold Option, Command, Shift, Ctrl, or any combination of these keys. Is there something wrong with my config or did I find a problem? Thanks, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.

And now I see that it is indeed mentioned in the manual, in BOTH the "rectangular selection" and "soft wrap" sections - although NOT in the section that describes working with columns. So maybe this thread will help the next person Googling to prevent further hair loss. :) Thanks! - Marc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.

Re: "column select" sometimes unavailable?
Did you check to make sure that "Soft Wrap Text" is turned off? Column selection only works when Soft Wrap Text is disabled.

"column select" sometimes unavailable?
Folks - For the life of me, I can't figure this one out and I see no discussion of it anywhere: Now and then, I'm unable to use "column select"; I press the Option key and not only does the cursor not change to the crosshairs, a vertical drag selects by line rather than column. Interestingly, this seems to affect TextMate as well as BBEdit. The Option keys (I've tried both) do work; ex: I can type a bullet via Option-8. Rebooting fixes it. Using "Fast User Switching" fixes it sometimes (I think I saw that once anyway). Any ideas greatly appreciated!
