Cursor beyond end-of-line

    Hi everybody.

    Is it possible to enable "cursor beyond end-of-line" mode in notepad++.

    I am used to editors where cursor cant be placed beyond end-of-line and this constant jumping to the end of short lines really bothers me and is the only reason why Notepad++ isn't my default editor.

      This would be a nice additional option... It would also help when you are using column blocks.

        Agree. To use rectangular selection right, you first have to determine which is the longest string in the future selection, and start selecting with cursor on the longest string.
        I vote for this feature, too!

          But that longer line must also be the first, or last line ?

          It is a seriously annoying bug, and I believe comes from the scintilla
          engine, and asking over there, they have looked into this, and
          put it in the too-hard box.....(ie still comming, no timeline...)

          ISTR some mention of proportional font support messing with this
          ( which I can understand ) but I'd be happy to have the feature only
          on fixed width fonts....

          I have also suggested a partial fix, which is to allow the Shift-Alt mouse
          selection of column mode, to be made smarter to look for the longest line, and
          pad the corner line, to match that length (so ensuring you DO select all Chars )
          - that should be do-able independant of the Scintilla problem.
          Alt-drag would probably not easily get this fix.

            Another vote for this feature, please!

            Keep up the good work.

              I too would love to have the option to arrow the cursor to the right past the physical end of line.  IE: Keep the cursor in the current column when moving it up and down, even on shorter lines.

                Almost three years passed and nothing happened :-(
                This thing is still keeping me from using NP++. All other good editors like ConTEXT or PSPad are providing it. And if you've ever became used to this feature you're gonna miss it like hell. Just my 2cents.

      I'd like to see a beyond end-of-file option also that is seperate than end-of-line. Crimson Editor allows you to keep scrolling until the end-of-file line beomes the top most line.
