Code Editor: Ability to double-click text to select the whole words

[iampremo]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

While GMS2 allows for you to double click text to select a whole word, most text editors like visual studio, notepad and even this text box I'm writing in right now, allow you to then drag your selection, selecting additional whole words in the same way you can select things using the arrow keys while holding Control + Shift in GMS2.

I often rely on this feature in other editors to edit chunks of code fast and without having to precisely position my cursor to make sure I get everything I wanted in the selection, making GMS2's code editing a little frustrating in comparison.

Describe the solution you'd like

Double-clicking any word selects it in the Code Editor and holding down Shift at the same time allows additional whole words in the same way you can select things using the arrow keys while holding Control + Shift in GMS2

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

I've added an example gif in case I explained it poorly.

These are not duplicates of this request. This request is only about selecting text, while the two you cite are about moving text.

Waiting for double-click to select words feature (i made theme on forum about it https://forum.gamemaker.io/index.php?threads/lmb-down-up-down-hold-to-select.105667/) about moving text - it's "double-edged sword" - it's rather bothers then helps (imho)
