VS.NET editor: CTRL-F6 and column selection

I am having two _basic_ problems with VS.NET 2003 editor (probably same for
VS7) that I can't seem to figure out:

1) My CTRL-F6 to cycle through windows in the editor stopped working. What
could I have done to disable it, or how can I get it back?
2) How does one select a column of text in the editor. For example, a column
the length of a procedure but only columns 10-20?

Thanks,
BK
 
I can't say why CTRL+F6 stopped working, but you can reassign it by going to Tools->Options... It's under Environtment|Keyboard and the command you're looking for is called Window.NextDocumentWindo

You can selected text by columns by holding the Alt key while selecting with the mouse

Thanks for the reply.

Strange, but it looks like the key IS mapped correctly AND
Window.PreviousDocumentWindow works just fine with CTRL-SHIFT-F6. Also, my
CTRL key seems to work okay with other commands. It seems that its just the
CTRL-F6 doesn't work. Any ideas?

If it's registered correctly, I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work unless you installed something that registered a global hook for that particular key combination and neglected to send the Windows message to the next handler when he was done with it.
 
Good call. I stopped all non-essential applications that were running --
namely those in the system tray -- and now the key combo is working
correctly again. It appears that it was either AIM, Quicktime or Intervideo
but I haven't completely narrowed it down, yet. In any case, thanks for the
help.
