Closes #32584 In https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/31888, we changed the default `opt + shift` behavior to start columnar selection from the mouse position (Sublime-like behavior) instead of from the existing selection head (VSCode-like behavior). It turns out there is a use case for creating columnar selection from an existing selection head as well, such as creating a consecutive multi-cursor from existing selection head with just a click instead of dragging. This PR brings back columnar selection from the selection head via `opt + shift`, while retaining columnar selection from the mouse position, which is now mapped to the new `cmd + shift` binding. Note: If you like to swap the binding, you can use [existing multi cursor modifier setting](https://zed.dev/docs/configuring-zed?highlight=multi_cursor_modifier#multi-cursor-modifier). Release Notes: - Added `cmd + shift` to start columnar selection from the mouse position. - Restored `opt + shift` to create columnar selection (or consecutive multi-cursor on click) from the selection head.
