    [0.3.1.730] I am not sure how others feel about it (I searched the forum entries a bit but could not find info on this...but I may very well have overlooked it) but double-clicking on the line number column to the left of a line should select the entire line (ctrl + shift + L) as opposed to selecting a word (ctrl + shift + W) (the current situation). Not to mention that what ends up being selected in most instances are the blank spaces before any words (I guess the blank spaces in the beginning of the line are being considered the first word).

    nivaldo: Well the thing is that the gutter is currently handled the same way as zero position. There was no intent to make a feature of it. It should and will work as you expected.

    martincohen: Yeah I think there’s a bug here. If you have a line like so:

        This is some text

    And double click the line number, all that gets selected is the spaces at the start of the line, not the entire line.

    I dislike the current way that clicking in the gutter works. I think that clicking a number once should select the whole line. This would then mean that if you had a file like this one you could click the line number 104, and drag the mouse to line number 106 it would select the lines 104-106 inclusive. Currently if I want to select lines 104-106 inclusive I have to click on 104 and drag the mouse to line 107. I think this current setup is counter-intuitive.

    dary: yes, I agree...this is even better...clicking once to select a line and dragging the mouse down the gutter to select multiple next lines...this is the way it works in EditPlus (as one example) and it is nice.

    Sorry about the previous post...the current drop does allow dragging the mouse down the gutter and selecting the lines...I guess the only thing it does not do (and that was probably Daryl's point) is selection of the line when just clicking on the gutter at the line (and not dragging down right away). Boy, I hope this makes sense :)

    Ok, I will clear my previous post out: It’s not working as designed, and will be fixed.

    And perhaps to clear your posts (for next generations:). The design of gutter is as follows:

    • Click at gutter will select whole line (including the line end character), so the caret will appear at next line.
    • Click and drag will be selecting lines inclusive. So click at 104 and drag to 106 will select 3 lines. Caret will be at start of 107.
    • Double-click will select paragraph in current indent /fold level.
    • Tripple-click will select whole indent / fold level.

    I’m glad to hear this, Martin. It seems you’re always one step ahead of us :-)
