Summary0000349: Column selection
Description

There is an unusual anomaly that occurs when you click on the blank space beneath the section of rows in a pattern. The column (not the channel) directly above the cursor is selected starting from the row where the cursor was focused last, to the last row. I've often wished for a column selector and due to some kind of glitch, the beginning of this is already in place, and i'm hoping with a little tweaking we can turn it into a full-blown feature.
The column selection method could occur either by keypress, click and modifier key, or clicking in this blank spot, and would select the whole column. But special means would have to be coded to ensure that selecting the Channel FX value column also selects the Channel FX command column, as dragging the selection does not move the values.

TagsNo tags attached.
Has the bug occurred in previous versions?
Tested code revision (in case you know it)

Boy, this took a while to figure out - The behaviour you describe does only happen if "always center active row" is disabled, and is certainly not intended. Pressing Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-Shift-End kind of does what you want, though.

Sorry, i run my tracker differently from most folks, and i just can't seem to work with ModPlug when the active row is always centered....

The keyboard shortcuts work fine, and scripting would make this much easier i bet, but, short of say a triple click, perhaps a contextual menu item is called for here.

Even though the effect is not intended, do you see if it's able to be exploited?

Well, there would certainly be no need to "exploit" the effect for that behaviour. I might add such a feature later.
