    oksf - 2008-03-13

    My Notepad++ was updated today, and now, after the update, when I click the End key in multi-line paragraphs, the cursor jumps to the end of the paragraph instead of to the end of the line, as it used to do until today.

    Can this annoyance be reversed?

    Thanks

      Take a look at the shortcutmapper, there are different jump-to-end-of-line options, remap the END key to whichever one you like best.Currently Alt-End seems to do what you want, just remap them (Its in the Scintilla commands tab, dont forget to press apply)

        Thank you, this was bugging the heck out of me too, until I found this message which allowed me to change it back to how it used to be.

      This behavior makes sense to me, although I almost never use multi-line or wrap mode.

      It would be nice, though, if both features were simultaneously available, like Home and Alt+Home are available.

      Perhaps you would also like a third Home feature then, to move to the beginning of the current part/subline of a wrapped line?

    Just to add to this thread for folks searching later…

    If you have a long line that is wrapped over many lines, and you want to select just to the end of the current *displayed* line as it is wrapped, the Scintilla command you are looking for is:

    SCI_LINEENDWRAPEXTEND

    For me, I deleted Shift+End from its old assignment and moved it to this one. Works great.

    As someone pointed out here:

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/forums/forum/331753/topic/1969029

    the default behavior of Alt+Shift+End selects from the given column in the current displayed line, but selects the corresponding text in the *first* displayed line - which is totally bizarre.

    I used Shift+End for the command above because I almost always work with wrapped lines, but reassigning Alt+Shift+End might be better for you if you work with wrapped lines less often.
