Restore n-click Functionality for JSON Editor #468

Open dm-p opened 3 months ago

dm-p commented 3 months ago

Apparently JSONEditor had an advantage over Monaco editor in that double-clicking an opening enclosure (square bracket or brace) or triple-clicking would highlight all JSON within that segment, which was convenient for a few things. It would be useful if we could allow this in Monaco.

I've double-checked to confirm this behaviour.

In JSONEditor: • Double-Click: Highlights JSON within a opening enclosure (square/curly bracket) - this behaviour is consisten whether the mouse-click/curser is applied in-front or behind the bracket character. Thie same effect can be achieve my placing the text cursor next to the desired bracket and hitting Ctrl+Shift+M (expand to matching)

• Triple-Click: Highlights the JSON segment for the entire line(s) where the opening/closing enclosure sits. The same effect can be achieve by double-clicking then hitting Ctrl+Shift+L (aka: expand to line selection)

In Monca (v1.7 Deneb Editor) - the same functionality doesn't appear to be available. However, hovering the mouse cursor over the opening enclosure temporarily highlights the section, although somewhat fainter.

Upon futher investigation - we CAN achieve the selection functionality in Monaco with alternative keyboard shortcuts, but not with the mouse.

Expand Selection To End: Alt + Shift + Right Arrow Expand Selection To Start: Alt + Shift + Left Arrow
