[news.eclipse.tools] Re: 2.1/M5 Why is the Home Key == first char on lin

[wegener@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Dave Wegener)]

Smart home is very very anoying :)

I almost never want to go to the first non-whitespace character on a line.
 However, I often want to go to the very first character on the line. If I
want to make a selection to cut copy, I want to start from the beginning
of the line.  Otherwise the positioning of the cursor for a subsequent
paste gets all messed up.

I'm ever so greatfull that it has an option to turn it off.
