How to select multiple lines

[Erez Amit]

Hi,
There's a macro on the Niki site called Verilog Find Pair (
http://nedit.hackvalue.nl/niki/index.php/VerilogFindPair). It's called that
way because it was initially written with Verilog keywords in mind, other
then that it can be easily customized and used in any other language.

Currently the macro does the following:
You place the cursor on a supported keyword, press the macro's bind-key or
accelerator and the macro jumps-to and selects the corresponding keyword.
In Eric's case it would either jump from module to endmodule or the other
way around.

It should be easy enough to add a 'select' option that would select all text
between the keywords. I'm currently quite busy, but if you have the patience
Eric, I'll do it as soon as I can.

Regards,
Erez
