Column selection mode shortcut instead of mouse
I've used ALT+C in every editor to toggle column selection mode.
Now, when I try to set it, only mouse actions could be set. Why did you removed the shortkey? When I am coding, I do not want to touch the mouse.
Is it possible to set somehow my shortcut for this?

Hi there,
The default (current) shortcut can be seen in the "Main Menu | Edit | Column Selection Mode" (it is Alt+Shift+Insert here on Windows keymap).
You can change it at "Settings/Preferences | Keymap"
I've tried assigning Alt+C as an additional shortcut and it worked just fine for me (both PhpStorm 2022.2.3 and 2022.3.1 on Windows 10) -- both assigning and actually using it.
BTW, Alt+C by default should select the Code menu in the Main menu (common thingy -- mnemonics shortcuts).
Perhaps they are standing on your way on your computer/OS. See if disabling this option will make it any better.
P.S. On a second thought, are you saying that you cannot set that shortcut at all? What do you see there then (when you are trying to do this)? make some screen recording if you can (it helps a lot), otherwise would need a bunch of screenshots.
Maybe it conflicts with some another plugin that works with keyboard in a special way (e.g. IdeaVim)?
And yeah, try 2022.3.1 that was released on Dec 28 (in case if there was a bug that was affecting this that was fixed there).

You are right, I've searched for rectangular instead of column selection mode.
