What's the easy way to select a block of lines specified by line
numbers?
Like, I have a big text and want to select from line 57 to line 293?
Here is an excerpt from the 12.1 change notes:
* "Go To Line" (either the menu command or the popover from the
cursor position display) support the specification of line
ranges, in addition to just a single line and column. For
example, entering one of these forms into the field will behave
as follows:
X moves the insertion point to the beginning of
line X
X:C moves the insertion point to column C of line X
X-Y selects the text from the beginning of line X
to the end of line Y
(including the line break at the end of the line).
X:C-Y selects the text from column C on line X to the
end of line Y
(including the line break at the end of the line).
X:C-Y:C2 selects the text from column C on line X to
column C2 on line Y.
In this way, you can use "Go to Line" to select ranges of text
based on line and column number.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
