## Message

```
Switch to columnar selection by pressing `alt-shift` while mouse is down (#25096)

We begin a columnar selection when we drag the mouse while holding
`alt-shift`. This PR makes it possible to start the selection and then
turn it into columnar by pressing `alt-shift`.

Fixes #5372 

Release Notes:

- Support switching to columnar selection by pressing `alt-shift` while
mouse is down
```
