<![CDATA[Double-click to select on quoted string]]>Hi Opera, would be nice if you could implement a simple but very useful way of selecting a string on the string that is surrounded by single or double quotes.

Here's the validation rules:
1-if user double-click on a quote or double quotes char, the string between the quotes is selected
2-a maximum length of 100 char is search for the end-quote
3-only the quote is selected (as working now) if no end-quote found
4-up to you if you want to select or omit the quotes in the selected string

Here's a few examples:
"this is an example"
'here's another'
"thanks in advance!!"

They would find the apostrophe and stop there. So when you ask how hard can it be - you already proved that.
