How do I enable the column selection mode in Eclipse?

Question

News wrote that Eclipse 3.5 finally supports column selection. Unfortunately I don\'t know HOW to enable it. I tried pressing the ALT-key like I am used to in Visual Studio

Answer 1

To activate the cursor and select the columns you want to select use:

Windows: Alt+Shift+A

Mac: command + option + A

Linux-based OS: Alt+Shift+A

To deactivate, press the keys again.
