Vertical Selection

[DevFojo]

Please include vertical selection similar to that of visual studio

[ThreeFive-O]

Vertical selection is supported in VS Code using Alt+Shift and selecting with the mouse. When you click with the mouse it behaves like VS. But it definitely doesn't behave like VS when you drag the mouse.

There is no corresponding Alt + Drag version available in VS Code (Issue #5402 currently on backlog).

• VS Code Alt+Shift: If you move the mouse to the left of the cursor, the cursor position starts to change. It's not possible to select text towards the left of your initial cursor position. I think it's a bad behavior for selecting text.
• VS Alt: If you move the mouse to the left of the cursor, the cursor stays where it is, but the selection is left-hand side.

I think the VS implementation of vertical selection is far more superior towards usability.

​I did not know of this functionality. It is good enough​ but it can be improved
