[Github-comments] [geany] Page-up and page-down discrepancy duringing vertical selection (#825)

[philip r brenan]

There seems to be a small difference during <b>vertical selection</b> in the behaviour of <b>page-up</b> and <b>page-down</b> in that when page-down reaches the end of the file, it selects all the way to the left when it can go no further downwards; however when page-up reaches the top of the file it does not select all or any of the way to the right to match the behaviour of page-down

May I urge that when page-down should perhaps not suddenly increase the selection because after a lot of page-downs over many pages it is quite CPU Intensive to move the cursor back into position especially if the cursor  has been moved a long way left over many columns: this makes it difficult for the user to recover to the state before the triggering push of page-down if selection to the left was not in fact desired when page down reached the end of the file Conversely it is easy for the user to signal that they do want to select to the start of the line by pushing the <b>home</b> key

<b>Thanks!</b>
