Hello.

Sometimes we need to select a part of text in cell of SQL result and Ctrl+C/delete it then.

But scenario above make it sometimes not confortably.
All common Windows text editors allow us to put a position of carriege in the middle of a text, hold Shift key and click on different position, up to which we want to select a piece of text, like PL/SQL Developer code editor also.

What's going on in PL/SQL Developer SQL result cells now:
1. We have some SQL select result and want to select text like that

2. We putting a carriege in the middle of a text in cell

3. Hold Shift key and clicking a little after start of string, and get just a carriege in that position, between 'n' and 'f' characters:

So, hold left mouse button and drag a cursor, or use arrow keys with Shift key is 2 possible ways to get the goal now. But sometimes Shift+Click make a life much easier.

This works fine for me. But I use Light style - hope this is not the point.

The "Shift-Click to select" function does indeed not seem to work in grids. Neither in version 15.0 or 14.0. We'll check it out.
