[FR] Clicking bracket should select all content

[mrx23dot]

Issue Type: Feature Request

In Eclipse this is very useful:

On line:
asd= (1,2,34,5)
double clicking between ( and 1 selects everything between brackets.

Same goes for: [ { " ' ( """ /*
everything that has a pair, in any language.

There is already a command called "Select To Bracket" that does this, but there is no mouse gesture for this.
