Bring back line selection mode in source code editor

Status: New

Starting from CVI2019 previous selection modes are changed to operations made by pressing shift, alt, Ctr or some combination of them in addition to arrow keys or mouse movements. Even if some of the new features are more intuitive after a short training period, the line selection mode has been lost and in my opinion this is a pity.

At present the only ways to select text by lines line are a triple click on a line (for a single line) or pressing Home two times and Shift + down arrow key (for blocks of lines): this is considerably slower and less user friendly than before, when simply pressing Shift+down arrow key was enough to select two or more entire lines.

So please bring back line selection mode in the source code editor!

 

BTW, line selection mode is still listed as an option in the help for Edit >> Paste command but unfortunately this is a lost feature.



Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
