Selecting rectangle area with the mouse via right-click #442

Closed aplteam closed 6 years ago

aplteam commented 6 years ago

One really useful feature of the ODE editor is its ability to select a rectangle area anywhere on the screen by starting with a right-click.

I wonder whether it's technically possible at all to implement this in Ride...

Try Ctrl+Alt+Shift+ArrowKeys.

Excellent. Even better than the mouse; I had always trouble to click at the right spot.

Feature exists.

It is no secret that RIDE is using the Monaco editor now, which is also the editor used in VS Code. A good place to find information about available features is on VS Code's homepage: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/tips-and-tricks#_keyboard-reference-sheets

Note that some features need language specific implementation and will therefore be missing (go to definition and similar).

To make a box selection with the mouse, first place the cursor at start position, then press Shift+Alt (in Windows) and drag mouse to make a box selection.
