Another silly question after a sleepless night: At some point, possibly prior to 12.8, the Home key in the Editor used to go to column 1. Now it goes to the first non-whitespace character.
Is this an option somewhere that I can’t find?
Please help an old man out on National Beer Day, won’t you?
This has been happening for ages. If you press Home twice, though, it goes to column 1. For me, I like it working this way - it gives me the best of both worlds.
I used to be able to quickly indent a block with a repetition of , but lately this wouldn’t work because I thought the double-tap of changed from acting like “Home, then first non-whitespace” to “First non-whitespace, then Home”.
After trying drdubo20’s suggestion (and figuring out I needed to check the “Use navigation keys as shortcuts” box), I can’t get the Editor to do what I thought it was doing. Part of the problem with trying to pick this back up after 6 days…[sigh]

Hey! I can’t be an old dog! You just taught me a new trick!
I’m sure I knew that once upon a time, but my brain’s basal synapses overruled its retention. (Guinness had nothing to do with it) Now I can admonish myself for the first 10 times I realize I’m doing it wrong again, until it sticks semi-permanently.

Rich, I’ll log this to look at for next release, it’s too late to muck with it now. By default Home in Scintilla does do what you want, but because legacy Toad behavior differs I had to customize it. There’s also the Home (VC++) style command that is more like Toad’s legacy home behavior, but not exactly. So what we now have is 2 Home commands that do very similar things without one that acts like Home should natively. I think it can be improved once I have a few betas left to iron out problems.
Rich, this is done for next beta. There are two new options on the Editor|Behavior page in Options. The default is checked for both and they function as you see in 12.8/9 when checked. Un-checking causes Home/End to jump to start/end of line.
