I've implemented the ability to extend the selection to line boundaries in rlworkbench.
This can be used to more easily select a number of lines and do operations on them.
I plan to extend this mechanism with more text objects. Things that come to mind are word, sentence, paragraph, and function if you are writing code.

in #rlworkbenchI've implemented copy and paste in rlworkbench, and this is a demo of the current state.
You can make a selection as I demonstrated in the previous demo. Then you can copy that selection with ctrl+c and paste it with ctrl+v.
This also works with external programs.
The next step in copy paste is probably to allow selection of text with the mouse which puts the selection in a clipboard that can be pasted with the third mouse button.
Copy and paste felt like a big step towards a usable editor. Especially when writing code. I often copy and paste code and make small modifications. Now that is possible in rlworkbench.
