have not tried it yet, but i wondered about this problem.
as mentioned elsewhere, i too would like this in every textbox.

most notably in the debugger where i do a lot of print-it to find out the value
of some expression.

i'd also like to pick up on the idea that when there is no selection the whole
line will be evaluated (btw, there is a typo, you wrote like), and that line
will only be highlighted.

the idea is great, but what about if i do evaluate a selection? 
could in that case the selection be turned into a highlight? 
there is no way around to make a selection in order to evaluate it, (unless
some form of shift-control-whatver-key+mouse selection is introduced) but once
evaluated it is clear that i didn't intend to select to replace the text, and
i'd like to avoid doing so accidentally.

also, would it make sense to keep the highlight until another piece of code is
evaluated?

greetings, martin.
