I agree and I like that the cursor stays in the same column on each line. As a result, though, I can imagine how frustrating I would find it if it suddenly moved to the beginning of the next line, so I can totally understand why this current behavior is frustrating for the OP. I get very frustrated at (and will even give up on) programs that put my cursor in unwanted places, etc. In fact, Geany did something similar that drove me nuts when I first installed it and I would have walked away if I couldn't have changed it. The default behavior for the Home and End keys in Geany is to take you to the beginning or end of the current sentence regardless of how many lines it occupies. This means that it could take you three lines up or down or whatever. My desired behavior for those two keys is to take me to the beginning or end of the current line that I'm on, so I wasn't happy. Luckily, Geany gave me the ability to customize that behavior (big hug to the developers for that) and my Home and End keys now do what I want them to do and I've got a note in my personal wiki reminding me of the instructions to follow to change that setting for any future new installations. Hopefully the OP will be able to do something similar with this issue. -- Little Girl There is no spoon. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@lists.geany.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.geany.org
