Skips empty lines when selecting the first line #120

This plugin always skips empty lines, which honestly is fine and I can adapt to it for most cases, but for some (such as building a bunch of indents for Python, or for an in-line comment block) I really need this functionality.

I really do like how it skips lines which don't have a character at the position you're trying to vertical select when doing the option-click, so that I can have nice white space for readable code and still have something that spans multiple blocks of this white space, and have it not select the first-line of those empty lines. But... I believe an exception added when a user tries to multi-line select on the first-line. It should absolutely select ALL lines in this case.

Expected: When option-clicking downwards on the first column, make it ALWAYS include ALL lines.

Actual: All empty lines are always excluded.

Sorry, I'm only just getting around to this. I cant reproduce this. Is it still an issue? Can you give detailed steps on what you do. Not sure what you mean by "option-clicking downwards on the first column"
