Tested every aspect of keyboard-column-selection that I could think of; no issues found.
This feature seems ready for prime time. Great!

Re: Keyboard column selection broken.
Okay, did some very quick testing, and the only remaining issue I saw (besides the one you couldn't reproduce), is that, while Shift+Home now, goes to first character, then to left edge, and back and forth (that's exactly what it should do); Shift+End just goes to the last non-space character. But I...

Re: Keyboard column selection broken.
Testing... For Shift+End, on any line, the first press now selects from the current position, to a horizontal position which seems to be random, but it turns out that it is the position of the end of the first line in the file, for example in one file it may be column 54, and in another file it may ...

Re: Keyboard column selection broken.
Again, thanks Alexey. So in my testing, I have set Ctrl-L to toggle between keyboard-column-selection and normal selection. These comments apply to that mode. First, just using Shift+Up/Down/Left/Right works as expected, and makes good rectangular selection, even when cursor is past end of line. Gre...

Re: Keyboard column selection broken.
Thanks for that, Alexey. I will test it out. Just as you posted, I was composing a reply, so I'll paste it here: The one absolute requirement for me is true Virtual Space (cursor-past-end-of-line), and the second, just as important, is being able to select by columns (entirely by keyboard). This wou...

Re: Keyboard column selection broken.
As far as I know, they would all have a hotkey to toggle (in ConTEXT, it is Ctrl-L), and a menu item also. ConTEXT is the only one I have installed to check on at this moment; it does not toggle on a status bar click (but it does update the status bar when the hotkey/menu is used). In your former im...

Re: Keyboard column selection broken.
Okay, I'll check and see if I can figure it out. Given all the other editors with the feature, I still remain hopeful that you may reinstate it at some point in the future, even if not right now.

Re: Keyboard column selection broken.
Thanks. Visual Studio Community version is another one with such a mode.
Could you tell me the last version of CudaText that did support that mode? I would like to run it along side the current version.

Re: Keyboard column selection broken.
Several editors have a column-selection mode in the style I have been discussing: UltraEdit, Notepad++, and Geany among others, not just ConTEXT. I'm curious as to what complaints others may have had with this mode, since you said you changed it for other users. I can't see how the mode could bother...
