PyCharm vertical edit: Looking for Visual Studio equivalent of Alt key for selecting multiple lines

In Visual Studio, we can hold down the Alt key and select multiple lines together...

e.g: here I am changing the indentation of 3 lines together:

enter image description here

How can I do the same in PyCharm?

If you want to be able to click and drag, then change your key bindings this way:

In Preferences > Keymap > Editor Actions set

Create Rectangular Selection on Mouse Drag to ⌥ Click (clears old cursors)

Note that it should be Create instead of Add, and if you like you could set

Add Rectangular Selection on Mouse Drag to ⌥ ⇧ Click (keeps old cursors)

There is a documentation on their website you can find that here

If you are using a windows machine, it may work with alt or shift

In case of MAC it works with option key
