Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In VB6 we can double click before a procedure declaration to select the whole procedure.

Describe the solution you'd like
Same as in VB6.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Click before eg. Sub, scroll to End Sub, Shift click after Sub.

Additional context
I didn't know this for nearly a quarter century, and learned this a few weeks ago in vbforums.

I didn't know this for nearly a quarter century too, and learned it a few minutes ago from you!😂
It is a nice and useful feature, and I would like to extend it more.. since tB has collapsable areas in the code (functions, properties, regions ..) , the selection could be on any of these areas. (select a whole region or select a whole function etc)

I didn't know this until just now. Mind blown.

I can't make this work, exactly where do I do the double click?

Between the area of the breakpoints and the code pane

Thankyou, this is new to me too.
In general I am the sort of person who likes to get up and running and using software as quickly as I can so I don't take the time to learn all the shortcuts and hidden features. There are many like me so I try hard not to build hidden features into the software that I write. When I do include hidden things then they are for my own use/testing, and after a few months I can't remember how to get to them. Shortcut keys are good, but their functionalirty should also be availabe from a menu or similar, or at least well documented. A lesson for tB here :-)

cumented. A lesson for tB here :-)

I agree..I do the same for my software too...but this VB6 feature was not hidden...we just did not take the time to read the entire manual...😉

To select a complete sub I switch to the "display single sub/function" mode in VB6 then do a select all.
I find the ability to display a single sub in the edit window is really useful, almost essential, and hope Wayne can find a way to do thisin tB one day. (how do I insert a proper smiley in GitHub??)

Autocad has way more then over 1000 functions. I use the menubar if i have forgotten a function. Its a handy reference. Keybord shortcuts comes only in handy if there is a shortcut editor. Autocad has such a thing as well. But this i think should all delayed after the compiler itselv ist ready feature complete and stable. :)
