Hi, first i want to thank you for Pspad!
When i press ctrl+a to select all, text is selected ok but cursor position moves to the end of the document.
Is it possible to configure Pspad to dont change cursor position? Thanks, best regards.

Hello

If you make any selection, cursor must be on the begin or on the end of the selection.
You can create quick bookmark by Alt+Left arrow (Alt+Right remove it) and go trough bookmark with Alt + UP/Down arrow

I frequently use PSPad as my LSL editor and often need to copy the entire source code of a file to test it in another program. Each time I select all (Ctrl+A), PSPad moves the cursor to the end of the document. This is frustrating and often leads to errors, as I lose track of the last modified line and have to scroll back to find it. I repeat this copy-paste process dozens of times a day.

While I understand that the cursor has to move to the end of the document, is there any way to prevent the document from scrolling to the end? Ideally, I'd like the current line to remain in view even after selecting all.

It would be an alternative to "not moving cursor to the end" and a behaviour known from some other editors.

Friendly greetings,
Ravelli
