How to get a triple click to work in a Visual Studio text editor

Go to Notepad, Internet Explorer, or most other applications that display or edit text. Triple click on the text. Windows will select the entire paragraph under the cursor.

In Visual Studio 2005, this does not work.

How to get triple-click support in a Visual Studio text editor?

do VS 2008 or VS 2010 solve this?

Is there a macro, setting, or plugin that will allow this?

I have not used it, but CodeProject has an article on SmartHelp 3.04 that mentions that you can triple-click to select an entire line.

Also from the Craig Shoemaker Blog .

About VS 2010.

Further improvements include the triple-click ability of an expansive element similar to a table and the editor selects the layout of all tables. Want to surround this table with some extra layout? Just start typing with the selected table and markup inserted around the selected code.

I wrote an extension for this for Visual Studio 2010, which you can download from the VS gallery or directly from the extension manager in Visual Studio by searching for triple-click or my name.

You can also read the blog post I wrote about this and check the source on github .
