Column select end of file

[ertank]

Hello,

For certain reasons I need to modify big SQL files. I need to remove autoincrement column name and values from them in order to insert data in another database.

I can easily remove column name by replace, but removing autoincrement column values, I need to select as a column down to the end of the file. That, I need to wait my hands on keyboard Shift + Alt + PgDn for a long time.

I tried to find a shortcut to select down to the end of the file, but I couldn't find any. "to line begin", "to line end" exists.

I wonder if there is a faster way that can be used to select all columns down in a file.

Thanks & Regards,
Ertan

Top menu: Selection / More carets / More carets, down, until end.
Does it help?
if not - pls give sample screenshot to see how you select.

I have found another way.
1- Position caret to top left column position
2- using mouse scroll down to last line
3- hold and keep holding Shift + Alt
4- using mouse click on the bottom right column position

That selects a rectangle that I would like to delete. I am used to use shortcuts and looked for single press key combination. Above also solved my problem. I am not doing such edits daily anyway.

Thanks.

That also works and easier than my way of doing it with mouse.

Mentioned command is in the Command Palette too. look at "carets extend" name. so you can assign a hotkey.
