Research direction

Start by locating the Stack View implementation and the region-selection behavior in other views. Compare their selection and action paths, then define how region selection should support structure and array creation and grouping multiple variables. Done means Stack View can select a region and those actions use the selected range.

Description

Component: UI Effort: Medium Impact: Medium UI: Stack

Currently Stack View only has a cursor, and lacks region selection like other views. Region selection would be useful for more accurately creating structures and arrays, as well as actions like grouping multiple variables into an array.
