Block Marking Annoyance

Why do I have to cursor through each character of every column in every track when marking up a block?

You can’t mark less than one track at a time anyways, so why? it would make more sense (and speed things up a lot) if cursoring left/right while holding ALT to mark a block, would cause the cursor to move left/right by one track a time, not by one column …

Or not?

Sure, you can mark invdividual note or effect rows!

Use ctrl+B (begin selection) and ctrl+E (end selection) and any cursor moving keys you want to set the selection block. Try this for example:

ctrl+B
ctrl+tab
ctrl+tab
pagedown
ctrl+E

or the opposite:
ctrl+E
ctrl+shift+tab
ctrl+shift+tab
pageup
ctrl+B
