except: I've never found an editor with a SELECT or highlight
command that works like this:
first, the regular select starts at current cursor position, and
selects
all data until end cursor position. If start position is HERE and
then
you drag your mouse to THERE then all text between HERE and THERE
gets selected.
ok, the select I'd want is: you select width to select with the mouse
select tool, or with SHIFT-arrow keys. pressing DOWN arrow key
would select the next column down, but the same rows you selected
initially....
