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

LPEX kept the CODE Editor behaviour in regard to keeping the cursor inside the current screen. It has some advantages (e.g., when scrolling you see the line number for the current screen, so it's easy to stop in the desired area), and disadvantages (stream selections cannot be maintained when scrolling)...

There is a TODO to provide the alternative behaviour, but it's not the highest priority.

Thanks for the responses.

I see what you mean. If I highlight some code then scroll after the
selection has been made, if the highlighted code goes off the screen,
it's no longer selected.

However, I don't really find this to be acceptable behavior as it seems
counterintuitive to the environment.

Also, all character selections I'm aware of involve the Alt key (Alt-R,
Alt-Z, Alt-U), so it seems inconsistent that Ctl-A would be in that list
of character selections.
