I have to modify my database.
I have to move the whole area where there is text.

For that, I have to manage to select at the same time 'Bas-Rhin’ ‘Haut-Rhin’ ‘Dordogne’ etc and then be able to drag the selection just after 0,
Is it possible?
Thank you

you can right click and then select all the text ,there’s an option there
or you can hold the shift button plus the up or down arrow according to which part you want to select i hope it makes sense

shift + up arrow or down arrow

Hello Zayne
No it does not work because I have to manage to select all the lines in the area ’ '

ctrl+shift+space should work. But it’s kind of “unstable” (depends on the syntax definition) so I prefer selecting quoted content via BracketHighlighter’s command.

Wow select via the BracketHighlighter command ?

{
    "keys": ["ctrl+'"],
    "command": "bh_key",
    "args": {
        "no_outside_adj": true,
        "lines": true,
        "plugin": { "type": ["__all__"], "command": "bh_modules.bracketselect" }
    }
},

Another advantage with BracketHighlighter is that you can define what are paired quotes.

Sorry, I did not understand

Select multiple lines at the same time
