748823 - Pressing VK_HOME should cycle between absolute start of line and first character of line.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Source Editor, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Cedric Vivier [:cedricv]]

Pressing VK_HOME jumps caret to absolute start of line (row 0).
Pressing VK_HOME a second time should jump caret right before the first character on that line (if any).

Comment 1

[Cedric Vivier [:cedricv]]

As a second thought, the first VK_HOME press should jump to the first character of the line (if any) and the second press should jump to row 0 of line.

s/first character/first non-whitespace character

Is this a feature to implement in SourceEditor or upstream (Orion) ?

Either way. We can open an upstream bug for this and see where we get.

Thanks for your report Cedric!

This is now fixed upstream. The next Orion update should include this fix.

Moving to Source Editor component.

Filter on CHELICERAE.

Comment 8

[Mihai Sucan [:msucan]]

This is fixed upstream, but not in the textview component we use. Postponing this fix for a later time.
