2 things ... one I want, other I like...

Ok... it's been a while since I wrote a new topic here, so I'm gonna talk about two things on my mind.

First off, a Safari shortcut I discovered and love.
Thing is, usually when I start my day there are a few sites I like to open, but not always the same ones ... so when I have tabs activated and have written the URL in I simply hold command while pressing enter and the site opens in a new tab behind the one I'm looking at, leaving the one I have free to write the next URL in and so on.
You maybe all knew this, but hey... I love it! :)

Now to what I want.
I work a great deal on layout and design in all sorts of programs, and while doing that sometimes I need to change bits of a text block (i.e. to make certain words bold). Wouldnt it be great if I could highlight different parts of a sentance at the same time ... like every other word!

And wouldnt it be great if there was a way to do this and someone here is going to tell me how its done! ;)

Back to listening to Just a Gigalo by David Lee Roth.

AFAIK you can't highlight multiple different sections of text at the same time. I'd love to do this, too! I've tried but not found a way. I do know, however, that if you've using TextEdit in OS X (maybe other apps too, I don't know) you can hold down Option and select a vertical block of text, which is really neat.

multiple selection would be cool.
