+#REDIRECT [[Selection (user interface)#Column selection]]
-In [[computing]] and [[user interface engineering]], a '''column selection''' is a [[text selection]] feature found in [[text editor]]s which allows the user to select characters in a grid-like fashion. This is usually initiated by pressing the alt key instead of the shift key to select text when [[drag-and-drop]]ping.
