Hy Guys,
When using ALT+click for selecting a text area the selected area is not editable unless you click on another open editor tab and then go back in the initial editor tab you made the selection and start editing.
It goes to menu or it looses focus to the editor tab.
The feature in ssms is described here: http://sqlmag.com/blog/simple-sql-server-management-studio-trick-multiple-line-text-editing.
In Toad 6.6 at least it edits all the rows. In previous versions it would edit only the first line of the alt selection (exceptions copy, paste, delete).
I tried to find the shortcut responsible for go to menu in toad but no luck. I guess if i manage to change the general behavior for ALT then this issue would be partially solved. (most of the chortcuts in this area are general and can’t be changed)
I am using:
OS: 8.1 with latest updates.
Toad 6.1 - 6.6. - the problem is present in all versions.
