I read from the docs that in order for me to subtract from a selection, using the ALT key works.
But after selecting a few lines of text using CTRL + mouse drag , I pressed ALT + mouse drag and nothing happened.
Any advice is appreciated.

ALT+drag only works when you are trimming the ends of a selection, not the middle. Start ALT+dragging outside a selection endpoint and drag over the selection for it to work.
If you want to âpaintâ selections, you can use mousewheel (column select) and ALT+mousewheel (column unselect).
it still doesnât work. I tried what you said, hovering my cursor outside the already selected text and then holding CTRL + mouse drag to the end of the selection.

Maybe a plugin ?
In the console type:
sublime.log_commands(True)
Next try to first select a text with the mouse, then add selection with ctrl+mouse.
You must have something like that in the console:
command: drag_select {"event": {"button": 1, "x": 402.5, "y": 161.5}}
command: drag_select {"additive": true, "event": {"button": 1, "x": 370.5, "y": 430.5}}
Yup I got something similar to what you have
I think I worked out how the subtraction selection works in Sublime âŚ
You can only subtract only from the last line from the selected lines right ?
On a sidenote, how do I deactivate logging ? It tried changing the command to âfalseâ, but it didnât work.
Youâre correct, it must works:
sublime.log_commands(False)
Not sure what you mean here, but I think youâre incorrect:
You can add selection with ctrl+button1 or subtract selection with alt+button1 anywhere, not only on the last selected lines.
At least in Windows 7, whatâs your OS ?
