How can I select multiple columns in Sublime Text?
What I mean by that, is the ability to select blocks of text, on the selected columns. In Notepad++ you can achieve this by Alt + drag on Windows.
Here is a live example: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/features/column-mode-editing.html
See Column Selection.
For Windows, it's Shift + right click.

I would like to select text and then able to drag that text to another part of the page. Currently, I can select text but can't then move it. Thanks!
You can hold Ctrl + drag, this way you will be able to do that!
I'm sorry, I don't find an already asked question for this problem...
in Xcode, what is the shortcut to edit multiples lines like the "CMD+click" of sublime text?
It is possible with Xcode 10+, see the wwdc2018 presentation of the functionality.
Ways to create multiple cursors:
⇧ Shift + ⌃ Control + Left Mouse Click: Will create a new cursor on every click
⇧ Shift + ⌃ Control + ↑: Will create a new cursor above
⇧ Shift + ⌃ Control + ↓: Will create a new cursor bellow
⌥ Option + drag: Will create a new cursor on every line you drag

I'm not sure how helpful this is to you, but if you want to change a variable name, you can click it, hover over it until the triangle dropdown button appears, click it and select Edit All in Scope.
This allows you to change all instances of that variable name.
Multiline editing is supported in Xcode 10, Ctrl + Shift + click the lines you want to edit.
Select the line you want to edit, then press option + command for a moment
I had this same question a few weeks ago, if you use the Option Key you can use column select and edit multiple lines like in your picture.
Where the confusion comes in is it is used for multiple things. If you click the option key over a variable or text it shows a question mark and shows information about what you click on. However, if you hold the option key while before the line or not over text it shows up as a plus symbol and you can drag and select multiple lines and edit them at the same time.
If you select a text you can add multiple tab spaces to the all lines simultaneously.
For that you must select the n lines of the code and press the key tab. If you want
remove the tab spaces should select the text and press shift+tab.
I was programming in my job and I accidentally discovered this in the IDE eclipse. I test the same process
in the Sublime Text and Geany and it works too.
Y suposse and pressume that works for the most of text editor
I can confirm the answer from kelgwiin for sublime text.
Depending on your platform you could also do the following in sublime text:
Linux: Hold shift and the right mouse button, then move the mouse up or down to make a column selection.
Windows + OS X: Simply hold down the mousewheel and move your mouse up and and down to select the columns.
Hope this helps!
On Geany you can create by using Alt+Shift+Mouse (Windows) or Ctrl-Shift-Mouse (*x) a multiline cursor or an rectange selection, where you can work on many lines at the same time. This is only working for lines 'in row' so you cannot choose line 9 and lines 12-16 and lines 23-44 to be edited at the same time.
For some reason, whenever I create a Text Box and start typing, the background text is highlighted white and I can't make it transparent. This picture should explain everything:
I want to remove the highlighting so the gradient in the background shows through. I used to do things like this a lot, but for some reason Word won't let me now. Any suggestions?
I am on Word 2011 Mac
Got some clues here and finally found a solution for MSWord for Mac version 16.9:
Select the text you want to fix
Select "Design" Tab
Click "Page Borders"
Click the "Shading" Tab
Select Apply to "Text"
[Fill] is showing "No Color". Open the selection and re-select "No Color"
Hit "OK"
Worked for me. It is obviously a bug in Word.
Right-click the text box that you want to make invisible.
If you want to change multiple text boxes, click the first text box or shape, and then press and hold SHIFT while you click the other text boxes.
On the shortcut menu, click Format Text Box.
On the Colors and Lines tab, in the Fill section, click the arrow next to Color, and then click No Color.
On the Colors and Lines tab, in the Line section, click the arrow next to Color, and then click No Color.
Click OK. Your textbox's background is now invisible...
It seems the actual text highlight is your problem, so try:
Go into Borders and Shading, apply it to text, and set it to clear. Had me confused because I've never had to do this before.
As seen here.
I also searched around and had trouble finding this.
In Word for Mac 2011
Highlight the text
Click tables in the ribbon
Find the shading icon (looks like a paint bucket)
Click the down arrow next to the bucket and select No Fill
Change the text format from anything apart from Normal text.(important)
Solution 1
Select the Text box and go to the "format" tab,
modify the outline and fill options
if this isn't enough
Solution 2
select the Text box and right click for options
select the last option "format shape"
My question today is, when selecting multiple lines of code and not completely selecting the full line for all the lines selected, how can I (or is there any keyboard shortcut for) block select all the lines that I have already selected, so that I have not just some lines fully selected and some not fully selected, but all the lines are fully selected from the home of the top line selected, to the end of the last line selected?
Note: The bold text in the segment above is what I am mainly trying to ask.
Thanks to anybody that is able to provide me with any helpful information!
From your question it looks like you want to select a block and not the complete line.
Hold the alt key and use the mouse to select your block.
You can use Alt + Shift + Arrow keys..
Its called Box Selection and was introduced in VS2010.
