In SQL*Plus it would be '.', but this doesn't work in PL/SQL Developer.

Marco, could you please add this functionality?

Here is description from SQL*Plus guide:

SQL*Plus treats PL/SQL subprograms in the same manner as SQL commands, except that a semicolon ( or a blank line does not terminate and execute a block. Terminate PL/SQL subprograms by entering a period (.) by itself on a new line. You can also terminate and execute a PL/SQL subprogram by entering a slash (/) by itself on a new line.

Well, there is no real reason to "edit" your code in PLD same way as you do in SQL*Plus
