I love it, but, triple-clicking a line and then shift+down arrow (to select a bunch of lines) removes the originally triple-clicked line from the selection. When copying and pasting code blocks, I keep missing the for (...) or if (...) statements.

You can try triple-clicking + dragging the mouse, which should do full line selections. There was a reason that the selection is made in a reverse direction, but I don't remember it. I'll try switching it and see how it goes.

I honestly cannot believe that this functionality is not already in VS... Thank you for writing this.

Awesome! I've been looking for this. It sucked that tripple-click got removed from 2010.

Thanks a lot!

Works great so far. Thanks! This functionality was very much needed.

The extension manifest is invalid :-(

RTM-built extensions won't work on the Beta releases, sorry.

    Backport to VS 2008?

      Would it be possible to create a port of this addin which works for VS 2008?  I have to use both VS 2008 and 2010 and I really like the functionality supplied to VS 2010.

      Not really. It may be possible to write a plug-in that does the same thing, but no part of this code would work on VS2008, from the extension system (VSIX) to the editor APIs used (the new VS2010 editor).  Sorry :-/

    Slow clicks

      Rather slow clicks do not seem to work, independant of the double-click speed setting in control panel.
Compare e.g. Notepad++.

      The extension uses the standard single/double/triple click events from WPF, so it isn't something I can really work around, sorry :(

      Useful utility. However I found that installing it caused the 'copy drag' (i.e. CTRL drag) to stop working in the code window.

      Hey Skodaman, sorry for the delayed response.  Can you try updating to version 2.1 and see if it fixes the issue?

Thanks!
