            Bug ID: 129737
           Summary: WRITER -- SECTIONS (enhancement) #3 - select text
                    under heading (select "section")
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jepe at cspv.hu

Description:
I'm only getting acquainted to sections :) 

///
as I see, text under a heading is a "section"...
although section means a distinct thing in Writer
///

it'd be great to have a right click menu option
when clicked on a heading:
"select this section" or: "select all under this heading" (to avoid ambiguity)

when editing text, 
the user oftentimes finds her/himself 
trying to select all the text under a heading...
which his not so easy if that section exceeds several pages...like 5-6
cause in that case, you can easily select another section, too...
(seriously :))

selection is already an intelligent thing, allowing users to select word,
sentence, paragraph...

selecting an entire section would be just the logical next step :)


Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to select ALL text under a heading...
2.
3.

Actual Results:
you have to place the cursor at the beginning...
scroll to the end of the desired selection zone, while pressing shift, 
and click again...


Expected Results:
you could be able to right click on heading and choose "select ALL text under
this heading"... (which would include text under smaller level, higher number,
headings, too, like heading 3 and 4 under a "heading 2")

and that would be it...



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I make this suggestion under a title "SECTIONS" enhancements cause, as I see
it, these are all about "sections", since text under a heading is a section,
too (or is there another term for that?)
