It honestly astonishes me that Geany's behavior is so utterly against all conventions I have encountered in practically ANY text editing tool, whether a program or a multi-line textbox on a web form, PDF, or any other place wherein the user is presented with a blob (paragraph) of text that wraps.

There are countless times when I intuitively use SHIFT-END or SHIFT-HOME to select from the cursor to the end or beginning of the CURRENT LINE. But in Geany, it selects all text from the cursor to the end or beginning of the PARAGRAPH. I can't tell you how many times I have "accidentally" selected text I did not intend to select and then deleted it so quickly that I didn't realize what I had done and then have to go back to try and figure out how to un-F it.

In my humble opinion, Geany is useless to me strictly because of this single issue. That this issue still has yet to be resolved is inconceivable. What is so difficult about making it possible to have Geany behave consistently with practically ALL text editing tools?! That so many respond to this simple request with arrogance and condescension says everything about why I have nothing but contempt for Geany and those who want to ram their frankly retarded unconventional text selection behavior down the throats of those of us who simply want a text editor that behaves the same in this way as practically all others except those who apparently don't actually edit anything except one-line, unwrapped code.

Geany is useless to me.
