Ctrl-m/Ctrl-Shift-m to navigate/select SQL statements

You can already use ctrl-m/ctrl-shift-m to jump between (or highlight) code blocks with the standard block identifiers like If/EndIf. It would be very good if the editor treated "exec sql" and ";" as block identifiers too.


Use Case:

Copying SQL from a SQLRPGLE member happens all the time, especially when troubleshooting a complex statement. If ctrl-m at the top of the SQL statement (or Exec SQL) highlighted everything until the next semi-colon, the process of copying the statement would be much faster and less prone to mistakes.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
