@Josh

add support for Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and Ctrl+X

Aren't these already the hotkeys for cut, copy, and paste, in the script editor?

These are useless when you're not using an English keyboard.

I've been working with the editor a lot and I've noticed that these keyboard shortcuts sometimes work fine, sometimes not, even with the English keyboard layout enabled, and sometimes the "Arrow (Left and Right) + Shift + Ctrl / Home / End" shortcuts don't work and the text isn't selected.

Additionally, Ctrl+S doesn't always work.
And the find window doesn't accurately position the cursor on the found string.

What kind of keyboard are you using that has problems?

[reepblue]

I actually ran into shortcut keys not working as well and I'm using a US-English keyboard. It's normally when multiple tabs are opened. To fix the issue, I have to close all the scripts and reopen the one I was working on.

I have standard WIN 10 instaltion with keyboard layout -> English (Unites states) and this shortcuts really doesn't work from day one LE instalation. I have to use VS CODE instead, because write code in build-in editor is for mouse-oriented users. I don't thik tah is problem in language setup or multiple window on screen.
 

Selection:
CHAR: [shift]+[right arrow]
LINE: [shift]+[up/down arrow]
LINE: [shift]+[END]
WORD: [shift]+[ctrl] + [right arrow] / [shift]+[ctrl] + [left arrow]
...

Copy:   [ctrl]+[c]
Paste:  [ctrl]+[v]
Cut:    [ctrl]+[x]

...

This one isn't programmed into the IDE because I didn't know it existed. All the others work fine for me, with one or multiple tabs open.

A few minutes ago a had situation when all default key shortcuts are OK, and now not. Strange behaviour ... but for me VS CODE is best solution with LE extension instaled, becuase debuger works from VS CODE too. Only one problem I see ... when build-in editor is opened, and lua code is changed from external editor, changes are not updated in opened editor window. Editor don't react on text file changes.

@AndyGFX, what an extension for lua do you use in VS Code? I use devCat and it's bad at debugging. Leadwerks text editor is good at debugging.

[AndyGFX]

I have instaled: Gideros Debugger, yes is from devCAT.

Please keep your eyes open for any action you can take that allows you to reliably reproduce the error. There's no way to debug the problem unless I can produce the behavior.
