I love the "goto matching brace" command (ctrl-b), but it's too bad this can't be combined with selecting text.
A "select to matching brace" command would make it super easy to select blocks of code. ctrl-shift-b seems like a intuitive key combo for it.
Some cursor movement can be combined with selecting text, pageup, ctrl-left, etc. Others can't: goto matching brace, goto next marker, etc. Maybe there could be more overall consistency? Or is there a reason against any cursor movement (while the shift is pressed) changing the selection?
1. Install Geany plugins.
2. check Tools->Plugin Manager->Extra Selection
3. click keybindings
4. select the "select to matching brace" line
5. click change
6. type ctrl+shift+b
7. "ok" and "close" your way out
Closed #840.
Wow, that covers my most wanted feature. ctrl+shift+b -> "select to matching brace". Even to the exact spelling. Thank you very much.
