@Alezex Is pressing Esc what you are looking for?

Others have discovered that pressing Esc does NOT do it.
I for one am used to Esc from long-time use of Notepad++ (before multi-select became the feature to hate) combined with the Better Multiselection plugin. With that combination, all worked well.

Using Esc after using an arrow key will work. Esc works to clear a multiple selection, but has no effect on a rectangular selection. Pressing an arrow key on a rectangular selection now changes it to a zero-width multi-selection (not, as one would expect, a zero-width rectangular selection).

This doesn’t help users that would like multi-select features to reside alongside column-block selection. Perhaps they can’t fully coexist? (I don’t know, I’m still using an earlier version for my day-to-day usage)
I of course realize that none of the shortcomings are your fault. :-)

@Alezex, try disabling the multi-cursor stuff by creating a
noColumnToMultiSelect.xmlfile. Put the file in your%AppData%\Notepad++folder.For more details look for
noColumnToMultiSelect.xmlat https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/#other-configuration-filesAfter adding the file exit and restart Notepad++.
