Description Fyodor Golos CLA 2005-09-15 18:31:46 EDT 
From Java Editor User Guide: "If enabled, the Home and End commands jump to the
first and last non whitespace character on a line."

It would be helpful to have this functionality while editing JSP files as well.

Amy, is this a "partiontype" aware function (yet) .. or, guess maybe it 
should be "any" source text should behave this way?
Comment 2 Amy Wu CLA 2005-09-16 10:49:07 EDT 
No, this is currently a Java editor only function (see 
JavaEditor#SmartLineAction)  So it looks like we cannot pick it up for free.  
I found a bug on jdt that mentions making the smart home/end more 
configurable, and added a comment saying that if it is configurable, it should 
be pushed down to base.  See bug 72957.
Comment 3 David Williams CLA 2006-06-08 03:16:37 EDT 
marking as dependent on 72957, as it would be much easier for us to use a service utility. 

barring that, if someone from the community would like to help "replicate" the JDT function in the SSE family of editors, that'd be great. 

I've set as P4 just to indicate this isn't on our immediate radar ... but consistency is a very high priority.
