From a user suggestion:
| Normally word processors and text editors have a left margin, allowing |
| whole lines to be selected. There would normally be a small gap of a few |
| pixels between the left column of text and the left margin, allowing a |
| "margin of error" for regular text selection. To the left of this gap, |
| any clicks select entire lines, and any drags up or down select many |
| lines at once. |
| I don't know if there is a need for the complete left margin |
| functionality in VisualEditor, but certainly, the editing area shouldn't |
| stop at the exact edge of the letters. Perhaps the padding on the VE |
| container needs to be increased with a compensating decrease in the |
| margin - or maybe that's totally wrong, but you get the idea. |
