And Google Drive finally gets a simple but important feature too

If you use an app a lot, even relatively small changes can make a big difference. That’s definitely the case withGoogleDocs, which has just added a really useful feature that makes a common task faster and simpler.
The new feature enables you to select multiple blocks of text at once and then apply actions to them – not just formatting, but delete, copy and paste too. If you’ve ever had to fix the formatting or remove headings from a big document you’ll appreciate how much of a time-saver that can be.
It’s definitely a case of better late than never here – the same feature is in so many of the word processing and writing apps I use that I’d forgotten Google Docs couldn’t do it – but I’m glad to see it.

A small but useful upgrade to Google Drive
I’m also glad to see a small but useful change to Google Drive too: keyboard shortcuts for cutting, copying and pasting files. You might’ve through it already existed, but no! It’s only been added this week, asGoogle’s announcementexplains. Provided you’re using Chrome you can use the standardCtrl/Cmd + C / X / Vcommands for file operations.
I know these updates aren’t exactly going to have got crowds dancing in the streets, but they’re worthwhile improvements to already very useful apps – and given the huge number of users Google has, the changes are going to make a lot of people’s workflow that little bit better.
