Select between braces

Since I switched from Maguma to WeBuilder I somehow miss this really cool feature. It selects everything between two matching braces, making the code clearly visible and ready to c/p.

In HTML, you can select matching tags rather than braces - so you can do what you require, but only in HTML, rather than CSS files.
Check the Edit menu.

css has 'select properties' which selects between the braces and 'select selector' which selects the whole block. click anywhere in the CSS doc and right click.

I agree, being able to "select between braces" (for PHP code) would be a really, really useful feature.

Just today I had a WB presentation: three Dreamweaver users. They were awed by WB's numerous features and speed, but dissapointed at missing proper code-folding and 'select-between-braces'.

There is no point of code-folding if you can't save it. And matching brace highlight is nice, but it doesn't quite do the job.

I am completely aware the WB IS moving in the right direction, but please do not neglect these aspects, as there is a nice potential market in not-quite-satisfied DW users that would potentially move to WB.

Saving of code folding is comming up in the next update AND we will think about 'select-between-braces'.
