> Atom: [...] must install a column mode extension

Atom has Sumblime-Text-style column selection using (on Win) CTRL-ALT; it works very well and feels familiar for people coming from Sublime Text (which has been very popular for years now).

Actually, column selection is one of the things where I prefer Atom to VS Code (I love both editors for different reasons).

But maybe you needed some particular style of column selection?

This just works if you have a package installed. It's where your problems start.

Weird, I don't recall installing it, but my case might be atypical since I have been continuously updating since beta.
