Click line number in gutter to select line.

I haven't seen this feature requested before, so please forgive me if I've missed a previous request for this.

A seemingly standard behaviour I've seen in many other editors (Dreamweaver, Notepad++, Coda on OSX etc) is the ability ability to simply click the line number in the gutter to select the entire line. WeBuilder only inserts the cursor at the start of the line, although I have noticed this behaviour in other editors as well (TextMate on OSX).

On the same topic, click-dragging down the gutter to select multiple lines also behaves differently. For example, clicking on line '3' and draging down to '5' will only select lines 3 and 4 in WeBuilder (and TextMate), but 3, 4 and 5 in the other editors (which makes more sense to me, but I guess that's because that's what I'm used to).

As this is a personal preference/habit behavious, I believe it would be very useful to be able to change this gutter/line number click behaviour.

You can double-click in the gutter to select the whole line.

Agree with you on the second point, my other editors will select all the lines, 3 4 and 5, WeBuilder only 3 and 4.

Cheers,
Mike
