How to use Column Editing in uVision3.*

Does anyone know how to use column mode for editing source code within uVision3 IDE??? I am used to using Jens where I could insert text in a column format defined by the start and stop of the drag of my cursor. I could then right click and insert defined text on all lines simultaneously starting where my cursor orignated to the end of the highlighted segment area in a column format. Can anyone help with this??? I know how to use the Alt key and mouse to highlight text in a column format, but I can find a way to enter text on multiple lines in a column format. This is very annoying.

  • A bit sloppy to add a "comment" but not a "uncomment" command. A column-delete command is hard, always removing a fixed number of characters. A uncomment command would be able to check each individual line and don't destroy a line that doesn't start with //. No problem if the block is 10-20 lines, but if it is 500 lines, it can be easy to miss that there is some code in the middle that wasn't commented away, when marking the block.

  • Yes - unless I've just missed it?

    I guess the intention must've been just to make a block of text into a comment - rather than to enable/disable sections of code...?
