Column Select/Edit With Eclipse

By jama22 | Published: January 21, 2010

I recently upgraded to newest version of Eclipse (Galileo) and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it now comes with column select.  I first encountered this feature while using TextMate, and ever since I switched back to Win32 I’ve been itching to find an editor with a similar feature!

To activate it, simply press Alt+Shift+A to go into column select mode. From there, you can edit blocks of text to your heart’s content. If you want to revert back to the normal text editing mode, simply press Alt+Shift+A again.
