How to vertical select text in BeyondCompare text editor?

Visual Studio 2019/2022 text editor supports vertical selection using Alt+mouse_drag but I cant seem to figure out if BeyondCompare supports this in its editor or not.

Need to edit a bunch of lines to fix indentation

Beyond Compare doesn't support vertical selection. It's on the feature request list for a future version but doesn't have a scheduled release date.

Search and replace is a possible workaround.

Example: To change two spaces of leading indentation to four spaces.

1. Load a file in the Text Compare.
2. Search > Replace.
3. Click the .* button to enable regular expressions.
4. Find what: ^ (carat followed by two spaces).
5. Replace with: (four spaces).

Beyond Compare also provides commands to convert whitespace:

• Edit > Convert File > Trim Trailing Whitespace.
• Edit > Convert File > Leading Spaces to Tabs.
• Edit > Convert File > Tabs to Spaces.
