Using the keyboard to select a column does not work

According to this documentation, ⌃ + ⇧ + Up can be used to select a column using the keyboard in sublime. However, on my mac, this just slowing animates all the open windows to a state where they are all visible. Is there a way to use this sublime functionality on a mac?

This is due to Ctrl+Up Arrow being set up as the Mission Control shortcut (when Shift is included, the animation is slower). I believe that this is something that started happening circa Mountain Lion and the default binding in Sublime has not been changed.

One way around this is to go to System Preferences > Mission Control on your Mac and change the default key bindings for Mission Control and Application windows to be something different or turned off entirely (if you don't use that functionality).

If you actually do use that functionality, you would need to change the Sublime key binding to something different. The defaults are:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+up"], "command": "select_lines", "args": {"forward": false} },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+down"], "command": "select_lines", "args": {"forward": true} },

Select Sublime Text > Preferences > Key Bindings - User from the menu and copy the default values in, then replace the keys used to be something more suitable for you.
