Vertical/Column text select in PyCharm?

Question

Is it possible to select text vertically/in a column in PyCharm? You can do it in Visual Studio and Notepad++ by holding down alt+arrow keys.

The documentation describes how to do it with the mouse, but there's no mention of keyboard options.

In the free version of Pycharm this is called Column Selection Mode and it's enabled pressing Shift + Command + 8

Edit: Noticed Ozgur Ozturk beat me to this in his comment and as he points out this combo is for Macs only

Go to Settings > Keymap > Editor Actions > Add Rectangular Selection on Mouse Drag and add Alt + Button1 Click as a new action.

This will allow you to create rectangular selections across multiple rows and columns like you know it from Notepad++.
