Trailing Spaces, Cursors In Space

[Anonymous]

First of all, thank you for making the FireFly software, I find it a great visual editor which saves me a lot of time whilst allowing me create a reasonable executable file.

At the moment I find it extremely difficult to use the code editor part of FireFly without always having to reach for the mouse and carefully position the cursor to the exact location I need to be in (which is always the end of the line).

The problem I am having doesn't have anything to do with IDE code modification or trimming, it's just that you are able to position the cursor way over on the right-hand side into the whitespace where there isn't any code.

I frequently need a cursor positioned at the end of a line.  This is either because I want to add more code to that line, or I want to hit enter and insert a new line below.  In either case, a cursor positioned in whitespace always leaves me with a lot of trailing spaces to get rid of.

If I am inserting a new line then the line which I was on before (even if it was blank to start with) is left full of trailing spaces and nothing else, which ends up getting in the way later on...

If I am trying to add to the line, I have to delete all the trailing spaces that were created when I clicked too far to the right.  I can, of course, get around this by keying to the line with the arrow keys and then pressing the "End" button on the keyboard, but this usually sends me way out in the distance because of some trailing spaces left over from earlier on. In fact, most lines in most of my projects have ended up with trailing spaces.

I know I could avoid all this if I were to meticulously click the cursor into the exact position every time, but I'm more of a keyboard person.  If there was an option I could set so that a cursor could not be positioned any further right than the end of the line (just like in a standard text box) it would solve all my problems.

Thanks,

While in the code editor, select "Editor Options" from "Options" top menu.

Select the "Misc" tab. Check the box called "Confine caret to text".

That should fix your problem?
