Is there a vertical highlighting feature in NetBeans?

开发者_运维知识库In MS Visual Studio, you can hold down the Alt key and make text selections vertically. Is this feature available in NetBeans on Mac OS X?

This is supported natively in NetBeans as of 7.1 http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13857

Use Command-Shift-R

In Netbeans 7.2, this feature is available. If you are using Windows, you can toggle the rectangular selection by pressing the

Ctrl + Shift + R 

Also there is an icon (dotted rectangle with an arrow pointer) in the Editor Toolbar.

Natively NetBeans does not support rectangular/vertical selection, but there is a plugin available that does exactly that. Also - take a look at this discussion in the NetBeans issue tracker.
