Notepad++ - Selecting Text to End of Line
Hi,
I don't know if this is the proper forum. I did want to post this question at the NPP forum, but I don't have any of the accounts required for registering (Github, Facebook, etc.), so I thought I'd ask here. If no one has an answer, no big deal. :)
Anyway, I don't use NPP for coding. Mainly for writing. I like the simplicity of a plain text editor for that. But all other editors I've used (including Word 2007 and other word processors) allow me to select text to the end of a "line" by using "shift + end." But NPP works differently. That's why I put "line" in quotes. NPP treats a line like a paragraph, as if it were one, long, unwrapped line of text/code rather than as a single run of text that ends at the right-hand margin. Placing the cursor within a paragraph and hitting "Shift + End" will select the entire remainder of the paragraph.
This behavior, apparently, explains why NPP also displays the column numbers as it does. (A 'column' appearing just a few characters in from the left-hand margin toward the end of a paragraph might be column number 753 instead of column 6.)
In any case, I'd like to know if it's possible to use NPP the way I would normally use other editors, i.e. by using "shift + end" (or some other keyboard shortcut I haven't been able to find in NPP or the NPP wiki) to select text extending to the right-hand margin only, not fully to the end of a paragraph.
Thanks for any input!
