how to use middle mouse button to select text

[Brother Creed]

VsCode supports selecting a certain part of text in each line using middle mouse button held down. i have attached a gif which shows it. i want to know if same thing is supported in notepad++ and if yes how to activate it.

I am aware that we can already do this using alt + shift does this I want to use middle mouse instead as its easier to select and control.

That’s for keyboard control of column block selection.
With mouse (which you seem to want to use), just hold Alt while you click and drag with left mouse button.

Alt+Lclickdrag is just as “easy”.

No.
