Select Non-Contiguous Text
This is really quite wonderful. “Contiguous” means “sharing a common border.” Very few applications allow you to select individual sections of text that are not physically next to each other (text that is non-contiguous). This technique lets you apply formatting or copy, cut, or delete separate sections of text all at once.
To select non-contiguous text:
- Press-and-drag to select a section of text.
- Hold down the Command key. Press-and-drag to select some other text that is not contiguous!
