Block select on a Linux console?

Question

Is there any Linux console (konsole, gnome-terminal, etc.) that allows selecting text in a block mode, like you can in a Windows cmd.exe window, using Mark and drawing a rectangle?

Solution

Holding down the Ctrl-Alt while dragging the left mouse button.

In case anybody is wondering, on Windows it is alt + drag.

Thanks! Using Linux for so many years and it's the first time I needed this :)

FYI - Option-Command will do this on a Mac (at least on Terminal and iTerm2)
