Add option to select text between matching braces

[Arthur]

I suggest adding an option to be able to select text between braces.

E.g. my code below:

errJobCreated = objNewJob.Create _
( sBinDir & "Cleanup.cmd", "********110000.000000" & offset , _
True, 64, , , JobID )

here I need to select all the text between (and)

Preferably I would like to have it available on right-click inside the file, under Selection... -> Select Between Matching Braces

Use Expand/Shrink selection from Edit->Selection.
Repeat Expand until you get a desired region selected.

Did not think about that, cool, I used Alt-Down Arrow straight while inside braces [works inside any braces, BTW] and it does what I need.
A hip-hip hooray to HippoEdit - the smartest editor of all!!

very useful!
however, for interacting with REPL like ipython, R etc (scratch python; currently HE doesn't support scopes that do not use {}), it'd be more useful if the scope selected didn't stop in the {} but selected from beginning of line.

Say I want to select an entire function... I need the begining, not only what's inside {}. Possible?

Yes, until now outlining .py files doesn't yet work, neither.
See here.
I hope that it will be enhanced with 1.50.

Hello urlwolf,

can you please provide an example, then for me would be more easier to udertand what you mean
If the question was about selection of the indentation scope (as python uses), then expand selection should be available automatically as I would add support of such type of outlining. Hope (as JJK it owuld come with 1.50 )

Best regards,
Alex.
