Is there a way to change the selection mode of the Windows command prompt from block selection to regular selection?

  • What do you mean for "regular selection"? Like the one of most terminals in Linux? As far as I know, it's not available in the Windows console.

Reset to default

Properties -> Options -> tick "QuickEdit Mode".

You might want to do the same in Defaults so it's like that every time.

It's simple, just check Enable line wrapping selection:
