Editing tips

Select Code Block

Awesome facility in Jedit, that allows us to select the text between matching braces. Not only curly, but square and round braces are also supported. The text can be cut or copied as needed. I found this useful when editing large JSON data. Most of the free online editors do not allow to cut the text of a collapsed node, and this was what i wanted. I was able to achieve this using the above facility in Jedit, tho it does not show a collapsed view. Its under Edit->Source menu. We can also just navigate to the matching braces.
