Does anyone know if block selection (or rectangular selection) is possible in eclipse?
Maybe there's a plugin? I haven't been able to find one myself yet...

Block selection is available since Eclipse 3.5.
You can toggle between standard and block selection using:

    Alt + Shift + A
    Opt + Cmd + A (on Mac)

or press Ctrl+3 (Cmd+3 on Mac), type "toggle block" and select Toggle Block Selection command.

Column mode is in Eclipse 3.5. The linked site also contains a patch for 3.4.0 (only).

  • Press Alt + Shift + A

  • Make selection using the mouse
  • Press Alt + Shift + A to go back to the old mode.
