Re: Copying code into an email / word doc - without the current line highlighted?

I rarely use the cursor to select code, because 99.66% of the time I want whole lines, and Alt-l works so much better to highlight/select the code. So...

move to first line to copy
Alt-l
move to last line to copy
Alt-l
arrow down once from the now highlighted text
Ctrl-c

(And while it has nothing to do with the original question, note the after highlighting code with Alt-l you can use Alt-c to copy it to the cursor and Alt-m to move it to the cursor.)

Basically, scroll through, find the code I want...ect.

Using the keyboard would probably be easier than making sure I get the
mouse back to the first pos of the next line.
