Is there any way for Photoshop-like-selecting in visual studio?
- ClickDrag to select
- Shift+ClickDrag to increase selection (maybe a couple of rows below)
- Alt-ClickDrag to decrease selection (to make a hole in the selection)

do you mean text selection? after you selected some text you can move the cursor and select more by holding shift + arrow keys. you then can use ctrl + arrow keys or pos1 or end to move the cursor faster – Molbac Jun 14 '23 at 07:24

But then you only expand or reduce the selection, right? I´m looking for a way to select a function i want to make a copy of, but then deselect some inner stuff that I am not interested in. So I can get the shell of something as a template – Fredrik Kindahl Jun 14 '23 at 07:27
