Bug 315984 (MONO65619)

---- Reported by agr@amigrave.com 2004-09-09 12:33:35 MST ----

The text editor does not behave like the majority of text-editors for the 
Ctrl-Left arrow : 
 
When using Ctrl-Left arrow at the beginning of this line : 
 
    word    word2 
 
the cursor goes behind of "word" instead of going in front of "word" 
 
Another quirk is the fact that using Ctrl+Down arrows in other editors 
scroll down the file while the cursor stay at the same line, under 
Monodevelop the behavior is different. 
 
Is there any particular reason for this ?

Im with you on control-up/down, but why would control-left bring your
cursor right, deeper into the line?

I made myself misunderstood about this. (my english is not good and
I've confused the expressions "behind" and "in front" and also "right"
and "left" as usual ;-), sorry about that)

Let me explain myself a better way with a visual example, so I won't
make mistake in my explanation :
(the pipe char is the cursor)

|      word     word2

When pushing Ctrl-Right in monodevelop, the cursor goes there :

       word|    word2

But in most of all other text editors, the cursor goes there :

       |word    word2

And it think it should go there, just at the begining of the first
word of the line.

control+up/down scrolling is in svn

the other I agree with but we get that from gtksourceview, and I am not
sure it is possible to easily modify the behavior. (gedit does the
same). Thanks for the visual representation it was helpful.

Perhaps this needs to be moved to gtksourceview at bugzilla.gnome.org?

we could maybe work around this by intercepting key/mouse-click events
ourselves, but we'd need to be careful not to override
base.<EventCallback> when it isn't appropriate... this may or may not
be tricky.
