   Hello. Thanks for making PN2. I recently switched from Notepad++, but I found it to be infuriating. PN2 looks exactly like what I was looking for.

   Anyway, I was showing my dad PN2 (he uses pspad) and he liked it except for one thing. I can't find it in the edit menu or in the settings dialog box. The ability to make a box selection. To allow you to select a box of text that isn't line wrapped and paste it. So you can select a column instead of selecting the entire lines.

   I don't think this would be possible in a script, but I haven't really delved into that yet.

   Thanks again.

   To make box selections just hold down alt while you drag your selection.

   Hope that helps!

   Awesome. I kind of figured this should have been a howto request and not a feature request, but I didn't see any mention of it in the help file.

   Thanks.

   Was exactly looking for the same feature, unfortunately it isn't working as smooth as with PSPad. Cos' it's not really a box selection. The selection stops after the last character on the bottom line, if a line above has a longer text you just miss that one. Would be great if that could be fixed in a future release.

   But thanks so far, for what you have done.

   Agreed. I've been wishing for that for a long time.
