Select range of lines in Notepad++ using line numbers

In response to a question in this post we proposed the following method to select a range of lines in Notepad++ using the line numbers:

Press Ctrl + G, type the start line and hit Enter to go to the start line.
Then go to the menu, click on Edit and then Begin/End select.
Press again Ctrl + G, and type the end line number and hit Enter to go to it.
Back to the menu, click on Edit and then Begin/End select once more.
By now you will have your range of lines selected.

Very helpful, thanks. I as looking for a way to copy one database out of a complete MySQL dump & it was thousands of lines, and by the time I has wasted 5 minutes scrolling through my copy lost focus – I knew Notepad++ had a way to do it.
