That tab and shift + ">" is a cool trick

[@dispirted8]

Amen to that 😊. For me, this is a pleasant surprise to add to the whole “Ctrl, Shift, Arrow, End, Home,…” repertoire.

[@VongSamnangBou]

Super great tip, Jon. I've been struggled with this issue for a while.

Good video. I usually just stare at the column until it gets selected. Surprised no one else has mentioned this little known trick.

Another combination you can use (but only if the column you want to select is arranged starting from the first row) is (1) Ctrl+Space (to select the entire column) and (2) Ctrl+Shift+Up arrow.

[@SunilKoujalgi]

This selects the header as well. Still, good one. 👍🏼

[@fabienperon3065]
