The editor can just switch to a monospaced font when the vertical/column selecion-mode is toggled, this is what Eclipse does. BTW SynEdit also supports column selection, it's just not available in the menu. In the Options Dialog you can assign key mappings to Column and Normal Selection Mode. -Flávio _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
