On Windows 11, I find that the keyboard column selection is not working when pressing ctrl+alt+up, down, etc. Not sure how to diagnose this. Column selection with a mouse works generally, but the mouse I use is actually a trackball with the mouse wheel under my thumb and the right mouse button next to the ball on the right, which is awkward at best. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Keyboard column selection not working on Windows 11

To find out whether correct command is executed,
- open ST’s console
- run
sublime.log_commands() - try to column select text and observe commands being called
You should see select_lines being executed. Otherwise a plugin is overriding the key binding.
If nothing happens key strokes are caught on OS level. The binding in question for instance has been reported to not work when running ST in a Remote Desktop session.

Also some Intel Graphics drivers/additional software has been known to use those shortcuts for flipping the screen in various directions etc. Like above sublime.log_input() Enter in the ST console will help you to see if ST sees the keystrokes at all, or if something is eating them before ST can receive them
