Shift+Alt+PgDn to select the entire column on page.
You have to hit pgDn twice.

Hope that helps!

Contrary to what vinlay said

I cannot select an entire column to the end of file.
End goes to end of line
And Ctrl End doesn’t work when column selecting.

I also hate that the cursor doesn’t go back to the beginning position after typing and changing lines, ala textpad.
making multi line edits a pain.

Jett – You can hit the end key and you will get to the bottom of the file. Am assuming that is what you are looking for.

I’m looking to delete a single column from an 8k plus file. If I select shift + alt then arrow over I can get one column, how can I select this entire column for all the records?
