748878 - Pressing VK_END should jump just after the last non-whitespace character of the line

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools :: Source Editor, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Cedric Vivier [:cedricv]]

Currently, VK_END jumps to the absolute end of line, it should instead jump right after the last non-whitespace character, pressing VK_END again should jump to the absolute end of line (and then cycle back to last non-whitespace character if VK_END is pressed again).

This is not behavior I would expect. When I press End I want to jump at the last character of the line, and if there's any whitespace I want to notice it. Never used such an option in any code editor.

Keeping this bug open in case others want this enhancement as well - please speak up!

yeah, not sure I understand why we'd do this.

Does this happen in any other editor? Why do you have so much whitespace at the end of your line that you'd need this?

Moving to Source Editor component.
