[Github-comments] [geany] End (of line) key behaves undesirable in (soft) Line wrapping mode (#949)

[PePa]

Well, thank you for at least engaging with the issue. I am running Geany on my smallest screen, at a ridiculously large font size, and I am at 180 characters screen width -- beyond what any sane coding standard would allow for a line length. And yet, there are use cases for examining text content -- data, html, whatever, that goes way beyond that. Geany provides a soft Line wrapping mode, which I find really useful. But going around editing in that area, it is still surprising when End takes you somewhere you never need to go (in my experience). The wrapping point varies with the screen size, but the point is, you want to visually jump within the screen that you are currently viewing instead of having to walk there with there. Of course, you can remember Alt-End, or, you can remap End and Alt-End -- which I have done, without any disadvantages.

What I am arguing is, that Line wrapping mode is more for textual content. Well, I am glad Geany knows the concept of "go to the end of the screen line" (at least, in Line wrapping mode..!)
