wish - code editor - triple-click selects line

[Dave O]

After using B4A for a few projects, I find I still miss the ability to triple-click to select the entire line (and triple-click-drag to select a block of lines).

Not a bug or even a big deal, but a small wish.

You can do this with one click in 1/3 the time.

Either click on the line number or to the far left of the code (where the pointer changes from the text selector to an arrow).

I know of the left-margin click method, but it's actually slower than triple-clicking when I'm coding, because I have to move the pointer away from the actual code to the left margin (but avoiding the leftmost strip, which is for breakpoints).

Triple-clicking can be done anywhere on the line, so it's faster. That's why so many text editors support it.

Only worth considering if it's easy to implement, but quite handy for those us coming from other IDEs.

Cheers!
