Rectangular selection without using the mouse

Post by abqbill »

Hi,I think it would be cool if PS could do a rectangular selection without the mouse; e.g., Alt-Shift-movement. Currently, I have to hold Alt and then click and drag to highlight my selection -- it would be more precise and more convenient if I could use just the keyboard.Thanks!Bill

Hi Bill.

I'll see if I can add this in a service build, should not be too complicated to do.
Any specific key combinations you are already used to?

Hi Alex,

It seems reasonable to me to make this Alt-Shift-direction, since we're already using Alt to mark columns using the mouse.

Thanks!

Hi Bill.

No new features are added to PrimalScript 2009 at this time unless they are really vital for its operation.
As for PrimalScript 2011, per policy we don't discuss new features until they get officially published.

But rest assured that this forum is a source for new items.

I'd like to request this feature again; I'd still like to be able to do a column selection without having to use the mouse.

Thanks,

Bill
