Question

Is there a way to quickly select all the text in the column where the cursor is located? Or all the text in a specific text box?

I tried clicking the left mouse button repeatedly, but that didn’t seem to work.
It seems that only double-clicking to select a word or triple-clicking to select an entire line works.

However, when adjusting a specific column or page, it can also be useful to select the text in the current column or on the current page.

    Oh my God.
    There's no such thing as the fastest—only faster.

    Hi ​@dublove click at the end of the column text, then with Shift key pressed click on the start of the column. This should select the whole column text. This is better than double or triple click. Does this help?

    That’s one way to do it.
    I usually just drag to select.

    So you already have multiple ways to achieve what you desire. What is it that is still making you want a new way to do the task?
