% An exhaustive commit focused on selctions management,
specially column selection. It also fixes the regression
injected in last commit where I broke few here-and-theres.
The changes are so exhaustive that I lost many to document,
but following are the main points you should know:
1. + Tripple click selection of a line.
Unlike other editors, HbIDE implements tripple-click
like this: double-click selects a word; do-not move
the cusor, click once, line is selected. Standard editors
measure the time between clicks, HbIDE measure the position
of click. This way user is not constrained to quickly
inject the third click. However, double-click carries
standard behavior.
2. + Shift+TAB now behaves as expected. It removes preceeding
<nTabSpaces>. <nTabSpaces> can be configured via
<Setup><Setup HbIDE>. Defaults to 3.
3. + TAB and Shift+TAB are also available in column selection.
4. + Ctrl+Left|Right, TAB/Shift+TAB and Backspace moves the
selection cursor without affecting selected rows in
column-selection mode when starting and ending columns are the
same; which eventually becomes the multiline editing cursor.
In practice there are lot many times when moving to
another column without leaving the multi-line selection
is needed.
5. + Enabled the physical cursor at all times, no matter in
which selection mode the cursor is. Earlier it was disabled
in column selection mode.
6. + TAB keys management is brought to PRG level instead of C++.
This has made it possible to have them working under
multi-line block editing mode ( extended column-selection mode).
;; A good amount of efforts have gone in this direction, and
as I am into it deep, please forward your suggessions as to
how the various behaviors should be.
