Add Select Current line shortcut to complement triple click

[bugnaturalist]

Description of the Request

In v8.6.2 and earlier, when you triple left-click in a document, the line under the pointer is selected. There is no intentional keyboard shortcut for this. I discovered that if you have multiple vertical edges defined, ctrl-I for split lines will select the current line instead of splitting on the first edge. This does not bother me since split lines rarely saves work for me. Split lines does not introduce line prefixes like quotes or comment characters from the first line. However, when multiple vertical edges are defined, and only line selection occurs on press of ctrl-I, it is difficult to figure out what is going on. An intentional shortcut to select the current line and complement the triple click would be better. A good place to make the new shortcut findable would be to add it to Edit -> Line Operations.

Since Ctrl-Shft-L is already taken, I suggest Ctrl-Shft-. where period sometimes represents here or now or this. @ sometimes represents something similar, but at a larger scope, which in this case would be paragraph, expandable section or function declaration.

Once the keyboard shortcut to select the current line is defined, it becomes useful for operations like Convert Case and Blank Operations.

It would probably help people evaluate this feature request if you provided:

1. a series of steps people should follow. If you provided this, I missed it, so you should be more explicit.
2. what you expect after following those steps
3. what you got instead after following these steps

IMO it is a feature request, and that can be a bit more "free form" than the issue template demands.

I also think that the OP could have left out the stuff about vertical edge (to make his desire clearer).
