I guess accidentally pressing a key or a combination changed a setting in Android Studio after which android studio is acting weird and won't let me select code properly.

Look at following image.

enter image description here

I have checked Android Studio setting and couldn't find anything related to it.

P.S I am using Windows 10.

To enter/exit column selection mode, press alt+shift+insert.

After deactivating, you can still do column selection with using alt + left click drag.
