Synopsis: Suggested editor enhancement - Selection Increase similar to CodeRush for Visual Studio
Description
See http://www.devexpress.com/?section=/products/net/coderush/AdvancedSelection. "CodeRush's Increase Selection feature ... increases the active selection by logical code blocks. Simply press Num + and the selection increases logically. ... As you would expect, Num - decreases the selection block." I think this would be a great enhancement for EiffelStudio. Maybe the first keypress could select the current word; the second could select the current line; etc. By the way, you may find many other good ideas on the related CodeRush web pages. I'm familiar with CodeRush for Delphi, which did an excellent job of improving the ergonomics of that IDE, making coding faster and less physically tiring. I wonder whether CodeRush works at all with ENViSioN?
