Selecting columns of text across multiple lines

[@LagrangePoint0]

Nice! thank you so much!

[@digambarbhole9467]

can we select the text in windows in the same manner as you have shown? what is the key that we should press can anyone tell?

[@NickHuntingtonKlein]

this is a program-specific thing; it doesn't work in all Windows programs. Usually if it's in the text editor you're using, alt-click is the way to do it.
