Select from cursor to start or end of file?

[grahamkenville]

I spent some time digging through the forums and help but couldn't find an easy way to do this.

How do you select from the current cursor position to the start or end of the file?

I found this can be done with Go To (ctrl-g) and then select Extend selection. It's easy enough to select to the beginning this way (line 1), but selecting to the end of the file would require finding out what the last line number is.

Thanks,

DOES CNTRL-END WORK FOR YOU?

Well, it doesn't select to the end of the file, but shift-ctrl-end does.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

crtl-shift-end
ctrl-shift-home

while we're at it, I discovered several keystroke editor shortcuts that also work in tp:

crtl- ( rigth arrow | left arrow )
shift - home | shift - end

spacebar does roll down in ie

alt esc does same as alt tab except that we roll through the z-order seeing each window without changing the z-order

holding shift often reverses the search path

if you do any of these too fast you overrun the task-switching | context-switching in the the central processor thread so keep mutiple cascading no-writeback backups. Working in text on gig drives leaves absolutely no excuse for totally lost development efforts.

I thought I saw a keystroke for word select but I cannot recover it, tp select word right | left skips to semicolon so do a manual data separation like this:

Code: Select all

:twsqeadfokoue:dtakypzhxxi:xym:ybnfgsvg: 

same as

Code: Select all

 twsqeadfokoue dtakypzhxxi xym ybnfgsvg 

but about two orders of magnitude faster......

milliseconds mean minutes when the clock rolls on.

constipation?

while we're at it, I discovered several keystroke editor shortcuts that also work in tp:

Go to Configure - Preferences - Keyboard.
Select "All" in Category.
Click on "List" button.

Now you have a complete list of keyboard commands.


(you could also choose a different category, then you only get the keyboard commands for that category)

Sorry, I just couldn't resist ;-)

Those are the "commands" to put those characters into the text at the cursor position.
