Question

It’s annoying in VS2008 when I press the END key, and my cursor jumps out to way beyond the end of the line of code, because I have trailing whitespace from a copy+paste or reformat.

I would like the END key to ignore whitespace. How can I best do this?

I thought of using AutoHotkey to catch END keypresses, and replace them with ‘CTRL+E, \, END‘ (That’s ‘Delete Horizontal White Space’, under Edit -> Advanced).

I’d like a less hacky solution if possible, though.

Answer 1

Well, here’s my AutoHotkey script:

SetTitleMatchMode RegEx #IfWinActive, .* - Microsoft Visual Studio End::Send {End}^e\ 

Guess I’ll use that until someone posts a better answer 🙂
