Select multiple, and separate, lines in TextMaker 2018

Post by VikingBoy »

I have just switched from MS Word 2013 to TextMaker 2018 and my initial impression is very favourable. Start up time, for one, is much faster.

There is however one function I used frequently in Word that I cant find in TexMaker. (I am using TextMaker on a PC)

In Word I can chose multiple number of individual lines of text in a document by CTRL + left click. This does not include lines between chosen lines.
However, in TextMaker I cant find this function.

CTRL + left click in TextMaker will chose the whole document. Shift + left click will chose all lines between two selected lines. What I'm looking
for is the function that selects multiple individual lies in a document but does not chose the lines between the chosen lines.

Any suggestions?

This is a special case of non-contiguous selection. Unfortunately, TextMaker isn't able to do that: https://forum.softmaker.com/viewtopic.php?f=305&t=19575.

Unfortunately, we don't have this function until now. I have forwarded the details to our development team.

Thanks
