block-select modifier key?

  • retag add tags

is there a modifier or key sequence to put wing (Default keybindings) into "block select" mode?

for example, I want to highlight and remove all the DEBUG: marks from the following log

DEBUG:  {
DEBUG:    "favorite ide" : "Wing"
DEBUG:  }

On macOS and Linux it's Shift-Option. That also seems to partially work on Windows but then right/left caret movement fails, which I suspect is a bug.

You can also use the key bindings listed in the Edit > Selection Mode sub-menu to change into different selection modes.

Or, for the above example, you could select the first DEBUG: and then use Edit > Multiple Selections > Add Selection for Next Occurrence (or the key binding listed there) to create multiple selections and then hit Delete to remove them all.
