How to select whole line by mouse left button triple click without end of line?

[tatra603]

Good morning, I am using latest oXygen 13.2. Can I ask You, how to select whole line in text editor mode by mouse left button triple click without end of line? Common triple click select whole line including eol, but I do not want it. Is it possible for example Ctrl (or Alt) + triple click to select whole line excluding eol? Thank You, Stepan

Hi,

Would you like so submit this as a feature request?

Currently triple click in mid-text selects the entire line (including the line separator). Note that if you triple click at the beginning or end of a text node it selects the entire text even if it spans across multiple lines. Similarly, for elements triple click on an element tag selects the entire element (start tag + content + end tag).

A simple workaround after triple click on text, if you don't want the end of line, is to press Shift+LeftArrow. This will preserve the selection, but shrink its domain and the last character (new line) will no longer be selected.

Adrian

...Yes, please. It would be nice to have such possibility like Alt + triple click to select whole line but eol. This my feature request is primary targeted to editing (Drag&Drop) non xml (SQL an Java) file types.

Thank You, Stepan

I've logged your request.

The current implementation (which selects the EOL) was meant o ease the re-ordering of lines by triple click followed by drag and drop. That is the main use case it was intended for.

Of course I do not want to change current behaviour of triple click (including EOL), which is much more often used, I guess. I just want to add Alt + triple click functionality. Stepan
