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.

Press Alt+Shift+Insert . From the main menu, choose Edit | Column Selection Mode. From the context menu of the editor, choose Column Selection Mode.
How can I select a column block of text (vertical selection)? To select in a box (select vertically), use the mouse to select while pressing the ALT key, or press SHIFT + CTRL + F8 to toggle Vertical Selection Mode (dragging the mouse will automatically select vertically).
Select all occurrences: Shift + Ctrl + Alt + J (Ctrl + Cmd + G for Mac OS X)
Press Ctrl+Shift+A (Find Action feature) and type column. The first result is Column Selection Mode Alt+Shift+Insert. After that, select text with keyboard (by holding Shift)
