​Improving the block selection button about affine HOT 3 OPEN

I actually like the animation. ☺️

The expanded line indicates which group of lines/blocks will be selected upon grabbing it rather than just a single line.

I think the feature is useful whenever blocks have a group. Currently, this may be just limited when there is tab indentation case; however, if developers introduce additional ways to group blocks, such as a note block option or split columns, this functionality could see improved utility.

One potential usability enhancement could involve differentiating actions between right-click and left-click when grabbing the bar. This distinction would allow users to choose between selecting a single block or a group of blocks. This feature might be particularly useful when trying to select a line that has indented blocks beneath it. Currently, there doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to grab just the line without also selecting the child blocks.

Another visual enhancement to consider is inconsistent ghost effect on grabbed text. I think all should show the whole blocks grabbed.
