Description
Description of the Issue
When I use the Mark... feature to mark some large amount of text, often I want to copy only that marked text to a different place. Currently there is no easy way to do that.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
-
Create the following text in a new Notepad++ editing view tab:
A baseball team from the fictional town of "Mudville" (implied to be the home
team) is losing by two runs in its last inning. Both the team and its fans
(a crowd of 5,000, according to the poem) believe they can win if Casey,
Mudville's star player, gets to bat. However, Casey is scheduled to be the
fifth batter of the inning, and the first two batters (Cooney and Barrows)
fail to get on base. The next two batters (Flynn and Jimmy Blake) are
perceived to be weak hitters with little chance of reaching base to allow
Casey a chance to bat. Surprisingly, Flynn hits a single, and Blake follows
with a double that allows Flynn to reach third base. Both runners are now in
scoring position and Casey represents the potential winning run. Casey is so
sure of his abilities that he does not swing at the first two pitches, both
called strikes. On the last pitch, the overconfident Casey strikes out
swinging, ending the game and sending the crowd home unhappy. -
