      Hi.
      When i press the ALT+SHIFT+<arrow_key>, nothing happens.
      Using ALT+<Mouse_Selection> works fine.

      What could be the problem?
      I’m using v7.9.5 (64-bit) on Windows 10. This is a brand new installation of Notepad++, so i have not customized anything yet.

      Thanks

        @A-L said in Column mode not working:

        It works fine for me. Are you using the “true” arrow key or are you using the Number pad arrow key (that won’t work).

        From https://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaHistory.html:

        “On Win32, the numeric keypad with Alt pressed can be used to enter characters by number. This can produce unexpected results in non-numlock mode when function keys are assigned. Potentially problematic keys like Alt+KeypadUp are now ignored. Bug #2152.”

        Cheers.

          Hi @Michael-Vincent
          My laptop is a Dell XPS and does NOT have a number pad.
          On a different laptop, pressing ALT+SHIFT+<arrow_key> works fine.
          Is there any way to enable some sort of debugging?

          Thanks
          –Andrew

            ok… i figured it out.
            It looks like I had the Windows Magnifier running and it was intercepting the
            ALT+SHIFT+<arrow-key>

            Exiting the Windows Magnifier fixed the issue.
