I was wondering if PN is capable of doing block selection. Nothing in the menu items, nor the Online Help. Luckily a user also asked the same question years ago in this forum.
So I'm thinking: for those who are working in a standalone computer, or not knowing what and where to search, they would be quite stuck and would conclude that PN is NOT capable of doing block selection.
This might be an enhancement for the next version :)

It's possible to do block selection. I haven't check the documentation, but it's easy to do. The functionality comes from Scintilla, so it was familiar to me since I've used a lot of Scintilla-based editors. Maybe just the docs need enhanced. :)
From the keyboard, hold down Alt+Shift and use the cursor keys.
Or use the mouse and hold down the Alt key at the same time.

Yes, I knew it's possible because "a user also asked the same question years ago in this forum" (which implied I found the answer).
The problem is the (shortcut) keys and mention of it in documentation. None of them is there even if you've tried hard to search for it.
