<p>I love the "goto matching brace" command (ctrl-b), but it's too bad this can't be combined with selecting text.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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?<br>
Or is there a reason against any cursor movement (while the shift is pressed) changing the selection?</p>
