Re: Lpex Editor - Ctl-A and Delete & Ctl-V

[Adrian <stori@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ctrl+A does a CHARACTER (rather than a STREAM) selection because LPEX 
keeps the cursor inside the visible view at all times (when you scroll, 
the cursor moves to stay on a line inside the screen).  If Ctrl+A were 
to do a stream selection, then 1.- the cursor would have to be set at 
the end of the document, 2.- any scroll the user would do at that point 
(e.g., mouse clicking or dragging on the scroll bar) will cause the 
cursor to move and consequently clear the selection...

You can always delete the entire selection with Alt+D or pop-up menu > 
Selected > Delete selection.

Joe's suggestion - Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+Shift+End - is another good alternative.
