[DO NOT PULL] Multiline selection and copy #387

Closed Eugene-msc closed 9 years ago

Eugene-msc commented 9 years ago

The work here is not finished. Not all the features are implemented, the code is ugly and I have my considerations about performance.

What works: Multiline selection. Copy to clipboard of said selection.

Todo: Selection by word on double click. Make selection stylable. Column selection(?) Check performance. some other features?

I created this pull request because I need some input from you guys. I don't really have any idea how to make double click work. I don't know if we need column selection at all. And I'm not good enough at Vala (or C) to make good judgments about performance.

IMO, we can certainly do without column selection, at least in the beginning. Word selection by click is probably needed though.
