Hi,

When editing a file like this:

    #10
        addend = 0; augend = 0;
    #10
        addend = 0; augend = 1;
    #10
        addend = 0; augend = 2;
    #10
        addend = 0; augend = 3;

If I choose the semicolons at the end of each line, and press arrow down key twice, I expected the cursors
to move down two lines vertically. However, EmEditor doesn’t seem to remember the horizontal location correctly.

Also, I found it a bit annoying that when pressing ctrl and doing multiple selections, the original cursor will be unslected.
(Only the cursors after pressing ctrl are selected, not the original one)

And I would appreciate it if the current line highlight works with multiple lines selection.

For example:

    #10
        addend = 0; augend = 0;<-cursor
    #10
        addend = 0; augend = 1;<-cursor
    #10
        addend = 0; augend = 2;

After pressing down key, I expect (which is correct in EmEditor):

    #10
        addend = 0; augend = 0;
    #10<-cursor
        addend = 0; augend = 1;
    #10<-cursor
        addend = 0; augend = 2;

And another down key:

    #10
        addend = 0; augend = 0;
    #10
        addend = 0; augend = 1;<-cursor
    #10
        addend = 0; augend = 2;<-cursor

Sorry, these issues will be fixed on v18.2.0 beta.
Thank you!

I have tried the new beta version, but I am expecting that after moving the cursor up and down once, the position of the cursors will not change.

    #10
        addend = 0; augend = 0;
    #10<-cursor
        addend = 0; augend = 1;<-cursor
    #10<-cursor
        addend = 0; augend = 2;

Also, is it possible to have the blue background of selected line for multiple lines selection? (Not only the left part, but also the entire line)

I am not exactly sure how you want the multiple cursors move. Could you upload a screencast, or illustrate exactly how you want multiple cursors move before and after the UP or DOWN key is pressed (both current behavior and expected behavior).

[TianCheng Yu]

The current behaviour:

And this is what I expected:

@Yutaka ,

—————————><Put cursor here.
———->
->
——————->
——->
—————————><<<
Put the cursor between “><” in the 1st line.
Press Down/Up key.
The single cursor actually keeps the initial X position, unless you move it horizontally.

When in multiple-cursor mode, each cursor should move as a single cursor.

The current change is not good. I can’t see its usefulness.

—————
Thank you for the change on Ctrl+clicking.
Hope the other issues can be improved when you have time:

I see you want each cursor keeps its own horizontal position independently. We will try to fix that way.
Thanks,

This issue occurs again.
