@christy2drag That's selectable

[christy2drag]

Yeah, i recently found that option and changed it.

Yeah, it is preconfigured in that way. You can change the behavior in the text editor preferences.

However, when using TABs, the vertical text selection doesn't work. So I can't use the vertical text selection because using TABs is more important to me.

QT Creator is great, the only thing i hate about it is that it generates spaces instead of a /t when i press the TAB key.

Cursor keys are great!

Ok, found how to remap ctrl+space. The filter function of the key list can filter for keys and not only for names. Which is very nice :) Especially when you realize that you can't type a " because there is a shortcut that reacts on AltGR+F making it impossible to type a "-character on the Svorak A5 keyboard layout. Using the filter one can fast eliminate those shortcuts.

I also notice that standard shortcuts like ctrl+[ don't work if [ is typed using AltGR key.

Trying out your IDE, looks nice but,

I have enabled vi-style editing in the tools->options dialog, but I still cant do vi-style editing. I first though i was simply in insert-mode by default but pressing escape don't bring me out to normal mode.

Also I can't find in tools how to change so I bring up the auto completion with ctrl+N instead of ctrl+space. On a Kinesis Contoured with the left ctrl mapped as the windows key, pressing ctrl+space is quite awkward using the right ctrl-key.
