Something that I miss on Simple IDE

Hi, first of all I need to tell you how great PropGCC is :) And of course the SimpleIDE is very nice.
I've been using it for two days only but I have found it really great.

While I was writing the C3Synapse's tutorials for PropGCC I noticed two things I miss from the Propeller IDE ( I use the SimpleIDE Windows version ).

Actually I couldn't figure out how to do a text block selection ( alt+mouse drag).

The other thing is that when I select some rows and I press TAB key to shift the block to the right, the selection is lost after the shift has been done. So if I need to do a shift again, I need to reselect the block and press TAB again. It would be nice if the selection could remain active so that I simply press TAB as many times as needed without reselecting the block everytime.

    I haven't used drag/drop in the editor much, so I may not have complete understanding to reproduce the problem. However, I have been able to test mouse select without alt+mouse drag: 1. place cursor above text with mouse, 2. drag mouse down to highlight. 3. release mouse. 4. place mouse over highlight block and press down to drag.

    There may be some cases where the source browser is kicking in by accident after a Ctrl+C or other operation.

    Yes, the block loses focus. Please reselect to TAB-BLOCK shift again. I'll put it on my list to try and improve this.

    Thanks,
