Research direction

Start by locating the existing actions for running the current statement and the entire script, then trace how the editor selection is represented. Add support for running multiple highlighted statements in one operation, including the drop-and-recreate temporary-table workflow, and verify that both existing run modes still work.

Description

enhancement

Only options seem to be run the current statement, or the entire script. Would be helpful to to be able to highlight and run multiple statements in 1 go. (a common one in my flow is dropping and then re-createing a temporary table)
