Sometimes I want to copy text but when I go to select some of it the selection explodes in size because I crossed some invisible development wall, or it will highlight stuff I'm not clicking anywhere near. Surely there is a way or a plugin to let me lasso select text. To see what I mean Exactly by the behavior I am looking for see notepad++'s behavior when you hold alt and drag select. I'm sure I've asked this before but having gotten no response and not wanting to necro, I'm asking again. Thanks for your time.
