I have an issue with selecting text on Mac OneNote 2016
I would like to be able to select a rectangular selection from within a text box.
In Word for Mac 2016 this function works by holding Option (Alt) and moving the mouse over the text I want.
It creates a rectangular selection and I can copy the content.
I would like to take it even farther and say , I would like to be able to select the rectangular text and replace the text with something that I have in my keyboard.
Users of TextWrangler or Notepad++ would be familiar with this function.
Let me know if I was unable to be clear.
Note: I am not talking about the rectangular selection within a page that can select multiple text areas, that works fine, but it is not what I am after.
