How to select text columns in the editor?

Question

I am editing some files with VS Code and need to select an entire column of file.

For example:

Insert Into Tabela (Data, Nome) Values
(2017-07-05, 'Huginho')
(2017-08-08, 'Zezinho')
(2017-11-25, 'Luizinho')
(2017-12-12, 'Donald')
(2017-09-06, 'Margarida')

I want to select all dates at the same time.

Answer 1

Press Shift + Alt and select the desired area.
