    Hello

    I have a text file like:

    "col1 row1" "col2 row1" "col3 row1"
    "col1 row2" "col2 row2" "col3 row2"
    ...
    "col1 row30000" "col2 row30000" "col3 row30000"

    I'd like to change middle column, so I try to mark it with:
    Alt-Shift-Arrow keys
    or
    Alt + Left mouse click
    combination. But it works very slowly with such many amount of rows.

    I've tried Alt-Shift-Ctrl-End, but this combination doesn't work.

    Has anybody another idea?

    Thanks for help.

      You can start the column selection, scroll to the bottom using the scroll bar, then press Alt while you select the end of the block.  I can't find any faster way to get to the end, sorry.

      You might also want to consider using a find/replace method, if that's suitable for what you want, as discussed here:
