Select tool in bitmap costume editor

Why is there no select tool in the bitmap costume editor? You can select an area on the screen and then drag or resize it. It works in the vector editor, so why not in the bitmap one?

The costume editor just needs a rewrite, and the devs already know all about that. The reason they haven't gotten around to it, is because they're working on more important stuff.

Currently the best thing to do is just to use an external image editor, like the scratch paint editor, or paint.net

Ok, thanks, coming from Scratch, it was a little jarring not being able to select. I actually generally prefer the Snap editor to the Scratch one, except for the lack of select tool.
