Re: Insert Inconsistent?

[batthish@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Samuel,

CODE Editor has two separate sets of cut/copy/paste actions.

The first set is the standard Windows Versions:
Ctrl+C    Copy
Ctrl+X    Cut
Ctrl+V    Paste

The second set is specific to CODE Editor:
Alt+L     Mark line
Alt+B     Mark character
Alt+R     Mark rectangle
Alt+U     Unmark
Alt+C     Copy
Alt+O     Overlay
Alt+D     Delete

When you mix the two sets, that is when you see the results you mention
(marking text is not quite the same thing as selecting text).
I find it is best to stick to one set at a time (rather than mixing them).
I will find out from the base editor team if this is something they can
improve.

thanks,

If I select code with Alt-L, then cut it with Ctrl-X, then paste it with
Ctrl-C it is insert *after* the line on which the cursor is located.


If I do the same thing, but select lines by dragging the cursor, then it is
inserted *before* the line with the cursor, given that the cursor is at the
left of the line or is in the number area.


Does anyone else find this inconsistent?
