Block selection in eclipse

Question

Does anyone know if block selection (or rectangular selection) is possible in eclipse?
Maybe there\'s a plugin? I haven\'t been able to find one myself yet...

Answer 1

Block selection is available since Eclipse 3.5.
You can toggle between standard and block selection using:

    Alt + Shift + A
    Opt + Cmd + A (on Mac)

or press Ctrl+3 (Cmd+3 on Mac), type "toggle block" and select Toggle Block Selection command.
