This is not a very compelling argument, since current implementation similarly prevents users from quickly selecting all but the _first_ lines. >I do *not* think an option will be implemented to leave the caret in the >middle of the selection Ok. > I leave this open as a feature request for (optional?) deferred scrolling, on > select-all. I think this would be even worse than current behavior -- not only the caret position would be lost, but this fact would also be hidden from the user. > I could also see a point of ctrl-a while all is selected, to deselect, and > restore the caret While this would be a minor improvement, I think it is more important to fix history restoration, since the user expects that Ctrl+H would return him to the previous position, but does not expect that Ctrl+A would do it. If this is fixed, I would consider the issue resolved. -- Alexander S.
