Vscode multi-line edit/select on linux mint

Question

I checked other questions/answers. Didn't seem to work out for me.

Back when I was running windows 10, I could simply hold ctrl and select multiple lines. But since I moved to linux (Linux mint to be precise) that command doesn't seem to work. Also tried:

alt keyed and select. (didn't work) ctrl+shift+alt while selecting. Didn't work too.

Would appreciate if my question gets answered. Its kinda stressful to edit eaxh line separately.
