Summary: sql statement detection based on empty lines

Initial Comment:
In squirrel itself way back this was the first thing i build into  squirrel because i was at that time really used to TOAD
And that is that if you have multiply sql statements but separated by new lines you can just execute 1 single statement by CTRL-ENTER
Because the sql executor checks where you are and parser the current line out of complete text.

this way you can have loads of statements in your editor and you can easily execute them

Doing a selection is very cumbersome and selection still overrides this new behavior.

Message:
I agree with the selection
But if there is no selection. the Toad or Squirrel itself behavior is soo
much easier 
This is the key feature i really miss in SQL Explorer and i am not alone
because many co workers of mine where complaining saying things like: when
are you sending in a patch for that.

Everybody who is used to squirrel will really mis this (or coming from
TOAD which is it all based on years and years ago)

i dont expect that control-enter does the whole file. And many others
around me also dont expect that. So that is purely based on what some or
others are used to.

I am fine that it is by default another key combo, But i want to change
that behavior/key combo then. Because i do want that ctrl-enter executes
the current sql statement i am on. 

Personally i dont see any positive thing about CTRL-ENTER executing
everything in the file. Because if you do really want that (which is very
unlikely) then CTRL-A,CTRL-ENTER does that.
But the other way around. If i only want to execute one sql statement that
is on 1 or more lines between many others. Then doing a selection and
ctrl-enter is just very annoying and cumbersome.

Hi Johan,

it is common use to aply an action to the current the selection or the
complete file (if nothing is selected). This is what CTRL+ENTER does and
what the user expects. So if you want to have another behaviour like 'Run
current chunk', add a new action and a new shortcut to do this
(SHIFT+CTR+ENTER?).
