How to disable selecting newline on triple click?
I appreciate that’s how it’s supposed to work but my workflow includes selecting entire lines a lot, which I then need to copy and paste elsewhere, but without the newline. As it is I can’t just triple-click; I have to select-drag (or double-click + drag) instead.
Is there a config switch to turn off newline selection on triple mouse click in ST3? An N-click+key combo perhaps?
Thanks!
Behavior is defined on Default (Windows).sublime-mousemap, inside default packages.
Probably you can create a short plugin that selects the whole line from start to end without line ending char.
A potential workaround for you (a.k.a. here’s what I do): If I copy a whole line, including the newline character, and then place my insertion point all the way on the left and paste without ever hitting enter, usually it does exactly what I want.
I created a simple macro to do what I want (including copying the selected text to the clipboard because why not 
)
SelectLineNoEOL.sublime-macro
{ "command": "move_to", "args": { "to": "hardbol" } },
{ "command": "move_to", "args": { "to": "eol", "extend": true } },
{ "command": "copy", "args": null }
]
And bound it to a key shortcut (Cmd+B is a random choice just to test it):
{ "keys": "super+b"], "command": "run_macro_file", "args": {"file": "res://Packages/User/SelectLineNoEOL.sublime-macro"} },So far so good, next I mapped it to a mouse action, Alt+triple-click in this case:
~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Default (OSX).sublime-mousemap
{
"button": "button1", "count": 3,"modifiers": "alt"],
"press_command": "run_macro_file", "press_args": {"file": "res://Packages/User/SelectLineNoEOL.sublime-macro"}
}
]
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
FYI, To select a/some line(s) without newlines, I use this sequence of standard command:
-Expand Selection To Line (CTRL+L)
-Split Into Lines (CTRL+SHIFT+L)
