      I am trying to edit out a column part way down the text file. As I hold down the <alt> key and go down to the bottom of the screen, it starts scrolling. As I have 25,000 lines, this is going to take a long time. If I try to hit <alt> end, or <Ctl> <alt> page down to get to the bottom of the file quickly, N++ loses the start of the column I want to cut.

      Is there a shortcut key to get to the bottom of the file from the current position while still holding down the <alt> key to save the start of my column cut?
