CaretMove problem

When moving the curser up and down in a text data file that is column delimited I need the curser to stay in the same col.

In RichView once I hit a shorter line, it will stay in that column and not move back to the column I was working in.

Is there a setting for this type of behavior or do I need to write my own routine to reposition back to the working col when text is there.

No, there is no option for blocking up and down keys in tables

Sergey, not sure I understand your answer. As far as I understand the initial post, the issue is not related to tables. It applies to plain-text paragraphs : to have the caret back to initial position (horizontally) when you issue a <Down, Up> or <Up, Down> key sequence, even though the caret has been temporarily "trapped to the left" because of a shorter text line.

MS-Word does that (BTW, the present message editor does as well, just try ...), and from ergonomics p.o.v it makes sense. It is not a major point, but maybe you could put that in a mid-term to-do list ?

You are correct - I am talking about plain text.

When moving around in the text, Richview does not function like the Richedit control I have replaced. The curser(Caret) will end up working it's way to the first col when you move up and down.

Ah, sorry, I did not understand the question.
This feature is not implemented. It is planned, but has low priority
