Kaiser (kbk) Summary: Ctrl+Shift block marking by words Initial Comment: When I mark a block with ctrl+shift pressed, pressing the right arrow with cursor before the last word on the line marks this word plus whitespace till the first word on next line. I think this behaviour is wrong - it should stop at the end of line. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tal Einat (taleinat) Date: 2007-05-24 22:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1330769 Originator: NO It shouldn't stop at the end of the line - for that, press Shift+End. But I'm guessing you meant that you think it should stop at the end of the word. Both phenomena you describe are the result of the same behavior. Pressing Ctrl+Right or Ctrl+Left jumps to the beginning of the next word in the relevant direction. This is the default behavior of the Tk Text widget, which I am liking less and less as time goes by. (issues with selections, 'end-1c', ...) What you ask has already been suggested to me: that it might be useful, and perhaps more intuitive, to have Ctrl+Right jump to the end of words instead of beginnings. I'll bring this up on the IDLE-dev mailing list as a possible feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: zorkin (zorkin) Date: 2007-05-01 20:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1741501 Originator: YES And another thing: if the cursor is at the start of line and I press ctrl + right, it moves to the start of the second word, not the first one, like it should. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1710718&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
