Sometimes I want to select a large block of code using ctrl-W.  The 
problem is that if the block is larger than what is visible on the 
screen, I don't know where the block I've selected starts or ends, so I 
don't know when to stop pressing ctrl-W.

It just struck me that IDEA already helps me with this when I place the 
cursor after a closing bracket -- if the opening bracket is above the 
top of the screen, it opens a mini-window / tooltip where the line 
containing the opening bracket is shown.

How about doing the same for selection?  When the topmost line of the 
selection is above the top of the screen, add a popup showing that line 
with the appropriate part shown selected in blue.
