I recently wanted to delete a column of comments from a file... but ended up discovering an issue with this... this was in a C++ file.
The pulldown menu says that 'column mode' is Alt-C, but that is not correct; fortunately, the help file *does* correctly document this operation as Shift-DownArrow. Could the pulldown menu be updated to show the correct command?
This isn't a critical error, but for newbies to the editor (such as myself!) it really *is* nice for the menu-listed commands to work!!
Thank ye!!

RESOLVED: issue with column mode

Re: issue with column mode
Alt-C is column mode switch, as stated in the help (i.e. on-line):
Column mode is indicated by a green rectangle in editor's status bar. Shift+Arrow can be only then used to select text in column mode, as opposed to normal mode. Column mode has more interesting features, as can be learnt from the on-line help. Please make sure to read it, if you haven't already.You can enter or exit column mode by pressing "Alt + C" or selecting "Column mode" in the edit menu.

Re: issue with column mode
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are so right!!
I don't know why this confused me... when I hit Alt-C, I get "column" displayed on the bottom status bar, but for some reason I simply didn't see that. And yes, *then* Shift-RightArrow works as expected...
It was *because* I didn't notice the green "column" notice at the bottom of the page, that I was confused about what the program was trying to do... sheesh...
Anyway, thank you again, pjj... you've been saving poor Richard alot of having to deal with things!!

Re: RESOLVED: issue with column mode
Thank you again for your kind words! I reckon it's a Christian deed to help out poor souls overwhelmed by the abundance of RJ TE options
Plus, if I or other guys here save Rickard some bother, he would have more time to enhance the editor ![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
