How can I change the way text is selected in Android Studios on Mac?
I have a rather strange problem. I am currently using Android Studios on a MacBook Pro, and when I mark my text (by clicking and dragging the cursor) it does not highlight the text in a row. Instead, it marks the text exactly the way I move the cursor, disregarding lines. Does anyone know how to change this, so I mark the text in the normal way, so if I move the cursor up three lines, it marks entire lines, not just part of the lines?

It looks like you are stuck with column selection mode . Since this happens to me sometimes, fix to clear the "Column Selection Mode" checkbox in the Edit menu.

This is the column selection mode. This is really very helpful. You can edit multiple lines at once. See it in action here
To turn on / off:
- Right Click -> Column Selection Mode
or
- CMD+ SHIFT+8
