UPDATED: LineTools module - Added select from, after, upto and to specified char actions

I have updated the Line Tools Module on my NetBeans update center described here.

What is new

Char Actions

Action	Key binding	Screenshot
From Char	Ctrl+Alt+, On MacOS Ctrl+Option+,
After Char	Ctrl+Alt+Shift+, On MacOS Ctrl+Option+Shift+,
Upto Char	Ctrl+Alt+Shift+. On MacOS Ctrl+Option+.
To Char	Ctrl+Alt+. On MacOS Ctrl+Option+Shift+.

The char actions help you in selecting text from, after, upto or to the specified char (in a text field in the sidebar at the bottom of the editor) on the current line from the current caret position. You can use the char actions to either delete text (DELETE key), or modifying the text - uppercase (Alt+u u) or lowercase (Alt+u l) following the char action. These actions work somewhat like the t, T, f and F commands of Vi. You can type a numeric prefix nn, to find the nnth occurence of the char. If you are trying to operate on a digit you have to type ENTER key.
