Builder Tips and Tricks Question - How to have builder understand multiple SHIFT-CTRL-LEFT (or even

I posted this on LinkedIn, and will try here as well...

In, frankly, all other applications that show text, one can highlight mutliple words by selecting SHIFT-CTRL-LEFT. This works when you do it once in the SDK, but doesn't highlight more. The Builder does, however, recognize multiple SHIFT-CTRL-RIGHT commands (same behaviour without the SHIFT button, by the way - one jump left, but as many as you want to the right).
I've dug through the builder OSpace to try and find where this may be affected but cannot determine it.
Does anyone know how this could be implemented? I'm more often than not trying to highlight text from back to front, rather than front-to-back and this has been a nuisance for a long, long time.

You know what the answer is going to be :-) Oclipse! Any behaviour trends you are seeing in builder now are not going to be addressed. The textedit control is handled by the c++ code and there is no active development being done on that.

Now, that being said, I use the selecting SHIFT-CTRL-LEFT/RIGHT controls with mixed results, when the SHIFT-CTRL-LEFT stops at the beginning of the word I lift the CTRL button then continue

Weird, yeap, oh the wonderful world of builder

Thanks Dave. It does raise an interesting (to me, anyway) question: do people tend to highlight from the left or the right more often? :-) Cheers, Ben

I think that depends on how you hold your fork, left or right handed….
