Committed on 24/01/2022 at 19:07. Pushed by cullmann into branch 'master'. Don't scroll on select all Tried Qtcreator, browsers etc. No one jumps to end. We use setSelection here to ensure we don't scroll anywhere The cursor stays in place i.e., it doesn't move to end of selection that is okay and expected. The idea here is to maintain scroll position in case select all was mistakenly triggered, and also to if you just want to copy text, there is no need to scroll anywhere.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435855 --- Comment #8 from witchhunter --- (In reply to Waqar Ahmed from comment #7) Hey, thanks for all your effort. Since I'm not a developer, that's way over my head. Never thought this so controversial though, and hope @Dominic finds that discussion, really curious to hear the arguments. Anyway, scripting is far as I go and KDE grows in other directions, too =). Thanks again -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435855 --- Comment #7 from Waqar Ahmed --- Hi, not really a "works for me" I think since that'd apply if this was a bug. Anyhow, the reason I linked the MR is that if you have really believe that this is an improvement and have a solid argument, you can add a comment there. This is how KDE grows (and I guess that's why we have so many options ;)). For me, it didn't matter either ways but maybe others really have a usecase for this that we didn't see. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435855 --- Comment #6 from witchhunter --- OK then. Sorry I wasted everyone's time. I guess this is "works for me" situation, since the provided workaround is easy to implement. But, just for the record, IMHO: - I have never encounter text/code/word editor that scroll view to the end on "select all", and I see no benefit of such behavior (TBH never used new QtCreator 6, but I'm confident that's a regression from 5 on their behalf) - The considerations of insertion point placement are irrelevant here, since there is no purpose to type or paste on "selected all" - The workaround have added functionality. You can easily use (as a cross-app consensus) left/right arrows to cancel selection and move to begin/end. Also up/down arrows to move in the current view (no mouse involved). As a silver lining, users can now found solution if annoyed/involved enough, and maybe learn the power of Katepart scripting at the same time.
