[CLOSED] Allow line selection by clicking in the line number gutter #8993

If I want to select lines 3-5, I'd like to be able to simply click in the line number gutter adjacent to line 3 and then drag the mouse pointer down to line 5. As it stands, I have to be quite accurate to find just the correct point to the right of the line number gutter but not too far right otherwise I will be at column 2 and will not get the whole line.

This 'gutter' method of selecting whole lines is much, much faster and far more accurate than line selection as it stands, at least in 1.0 build 1.0.0-15191 (release 3f2eb90a4) with the default settings.

Thanks. Keep up the great work!
