Block selection in SQL Developer?

823870Dec 14 2010 — edited Jul 18 2013
Hey everyone! A co-worker of mine uses TOAD to do work with our databases, however I use SQL Developer as I like it very much. During one of our meetings, he used something called "Block Selection" (I think that's what it's called....) in his code editor, by holding down ALT and highlightning a 'block' of text. This made it so he wouldn't grab text line by line.

I thought it was very cool, and it would be extremely helpful to clean up and format a bunch of procedures I have. I use a monospaced font to keep everything "in line" so to speak....makes it easier to read, especially in very large packages. Anyone know if SQL Developer supports this capability? Been searching all over for it on google, and through all the SQL help files but havn't found anything. Could be that I just don't know what to look for. Help would be appreciated!
