Cursor behavior like Delphi cursor
-
Is there anyway to setup notepad++ to have a cursor behavior like delphi cursor?
-
Do you mean by chance like discussed in this posting?: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/20195/selected-text
(BTW: I tried that setup for a while, and decided I didn’t like it, because it can hide spaces at ends of lines.)If that’s not what you meant, you really have to say more, because there probably aren’t that many people to whom the phrase “Delphi cursor” means much.

@Alan-Kilborn maybe something like the posting you linked. I feel working with delphi editor is more freely. You can move the cursor without jumps when you use up and down arrows keys. For me, there is no problem with spaces at the end of the line, because you can do it with tabs too. But is there such way to make it with notepad++?

@Splendens-Regan said in Cursor behavior like Delphi cursor:

I think you might mean to allow the cursor/caret to move into the space beyond the end-of-line characters on a line? If so, then yes, there is a way, but it will involve some sort of plugin. Let us know if that is what you really mean or not, and we’ll give further advice.

@Alan-Kilborn Hi! I think my english is not good enough to explain what I need, so I have made a video! Could you please take a look at it?

So I think it is like I said, you want to move your cursor/caret into the space that is beyond the line-ending characters. This is called “careting beyond EOL” where EOL = End of Line.
There are a few ways to do this.
Probably the plugin ExtSettings will do it – this, if supported, is the easiest.
If not, the NppExec or the PythonScript plugins will allow it. But these require writing a short script. -
@Alan-Kilborn Hi! I will try all this plugins, thank you!!!
