Extended mouse usage in Visual Studio
The mouse is a pretty handy tool for selecting text. In this section, we'll highlight how to use the mouse in an advanced way for quick edits to your code's text.
How to do it...
- Hold down the Ctrl key while clicking to select an entire word.
- Hold down the Alt key to select a box of text (Alt + Left Click + Drag).
You can then either cut, copy, or overwrite the box-shaped text area.
How it works...
Mouse clicking alone can be tedious, but with the help of Ctrl + Alt, it becomes quite cool. Try Alt + Left Click + Drag for selecting a row of text, then typing as well. The characters you type will be repeated in rows.
