selecting a whole line of text (osx)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Selecting a whole line of text on OSX is bound to [Ctrl] + [Shift] + 
[left/right]. In Xcode and other tools it's [Cmd] + [Shift] + [left/right].

Please change the binding or, even better, make it customizable via settings.

regards

Binding should be Cmd+Shift instead of Ctrl+Shift

Mac key mappings (Ctrl=>Cmd) missing for line select shortcut.

Was just checking on my machine with version 0.7.08 and Cmd + Shift + 
left/right select the whole line of text. So it seems this is working already.

Have you customized the key bindings on your installation?

Which version of OSX are you using?

I'm using Mountain Lion, but have experienced the same behaviour with Lion.

Please test with different programming languages and text. Depending on the 
actual text it will select the whole line, or something entirely different 
(like up to 3 lines, starting anywhere).
It does work with plain text for me too, but will fail with php, html, etc.

(Tested again with editra 0.7.12 and default key bindings)

One more thing: maybe the encoding is a factor too. I'm using a lot of utf-8 
encoded files.

seems this has been fixed in the latest release if you're selecting text 
towards the end of a line.
selecting text towards the beginning of a line still doesn't work for me.
