I can enter column selection mode by just holding option key in IntelliJ IDEA, how can I do it in WebStorm?

I have been looking it up for a pretty long while.

In IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate I can just press option key or alt key to enter column selection mode.

In WebStorm I remember I used to be able to do that but I lost that functionality after an update long time ago. Is it some configuration that I missed? I looked online and the settings for a long time. I am not talking about the toggle on / off via shift + command + 8, I wanted the one that works like IntelliJ IDEA.

Thanks in advance

Seems this is working differently in IDEA and WebStorm, indeed.

Please check if you have Option+Click assigned to the Create rectangular selection on mouse drag action in IDE Settings | Keymap:

If not, try mapping it there (right-click the action and choose Add Mouse Shortcut in the context menu) and let me know if that helps to achieve what you want.

Thanks for your reply, and it is exactly what I am looking for 😄. I didn't relate this “Rectangular Selection” with “Column Selection Mode”
