There's actually a key for this :) It used to be option-L, but it got changed to cmd-shift-L (and in beta 6 there's also cmd-ctrl-L to select a “real” line, ignoring soft wrap).
Though I think what Frank wants is e.g. clicking and releasing e.g. ctrl, and then move the arrow up/down to have full lines selected automatically.
What you (Frank) can do is use shift-up/down and afterwards press the cmd-shift-L key to extend the selection to full lines. But I'll consider the 'full line switch'.
