I believe this feature already does what you're looking for. As Bruce pointed out a couple days ago, the key is to select the *entire line*, including the line ending character. This approach feels natural to me (rather than just blindly indenting any arbitrary text selection). It also helps prevent the obvious weirdness of not being able to replace some selected text with a Tab character (although you can override the Tab-indention feature by holding down the Option key when you hit Tab, which reverses whatever you set for the preference). As Bruce pointed out in his earlier message, an easy way to select an entire line is to also enable the "Editing: General -> Allow single-click line selection" preference setting. Then you can just click on the line numbers or on the small bit of white space to the left of a line line to select the entire line, including the line ending. Hope this helps. -Dennis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
