As in Acrobat, holding Alt (Option on macOS) when a drag starts selects only the text inside the rectangle drawn, instead of everything between two points in reading order. It works with the Select tool, the text markup tools and Redact, so a column can be copied, highlighted or redacted. - render: PageText::glyphs_in (glyph centre inside the rectangle), glyph_rects (one box per run, never covering unselected text) and column_text: rows top to bottom, side-by-side pieces separated by a tab, right to left in right-to-left rows, reading order for vertical text. - ui-egui: a selection is a reading-order run or a column rectangle; the rectangle is outlined while dragging and the cursor is a crosshair. ⇧-click clears a column selection (it has no anchor glyph). - Edit ▸ Column select (edit.column_select, quick tool "column-select") does it with a plain drag. It is the way in on Linux desktops whose window manager takes Alt-drag for moving windows (Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, KDE Plasma 5 by default), where the app never sees the drag. - automation: text_extract takes rect for the same extraction headless. - "Column select" translated in all 15 catalogs (Arabic included); their ATTRIBUTION.toml hashes updated. - parity: new view.column-select entry with platform notes and gaps (no selection across pages, no ⇧-click extension). Windows: winit hands an Alt release to the system menu loop only when the window has a native menu, which PdfCraft's does not, so Alt-drag cannot leave the window in menu mode.
