Vertical/Column text select in PyCharm?

Is it possible to select text vertically/in a column in PyCharm? You can do it in Visual Studio and Notepad++ by holding down alt+arrow keys.

The documentation describes how to do it with the mouse, but there's no mention of keyboard options.

Press Ctrl+Shift+A (Find Action feature) and type column. The first result is Column Selection Mode Alt+Shift+Insert. After that, select text with keyboard (by holding Shift)

First press ctrl (press and release), then press ctrl+arrows to do the vertical selection.

In Mac, Hold option + Shift - and use mouse to select the text vertically

In the free version of Pycharm this is called Column Selection Mode and it's enabled pressing Shift + Command + 8

Edit: Noticed Ozgur Ozturk beat me to this in his comment and as he points out this combo is for Macs only

Go to Settings > Keymap > Editor Actions > Add Rectangular Selection on Mouse Drag and add Alt + Button1 Click as a new action.

This will allow you to create rectangular selections across multiple rows and columns like you know it from Notepad++.
