Re: Is there a block mode (hotkey)?

I often need an editor for block mode operations.

That mean I want to mark/delete/copy e.g. all columns from 12 to 27 from lines 23 to 40.

For that I would like to invoke a block mode by hotkey e.g. ALT.
When I press the hotkey and use the mouse a vertical block line/area
should be marked.

Is this possible in PsPad?

If yes: How exactly?

Is it possible to assign the ALT as hotkey to block mode=ON

Pspad work this way. Go to program settings / editor and allow ALT sets column mode

Ah, ok, thank you.

BUT: When I use the column mode then at least ONE full column must be marked.

What, if I want to insert an "a" between column 7 and 8 for multiple lines?

I cannot mark a column of width=0 (= just specify insert position).

I expected in that case to appear just a vertical line. But there is none.

How do I handle this situation?

Hello
You can use insert text to lines (alt+i) function

Ok, so there is no visual vertical line for block mode like it appears e.g. in Notepad++?

No.
