Small feature suggestion

[danf84]

Often when writing, I need to have an empty/new line at the end of the file. So I scroll with the "ARROW DOWN", the cursor often ends up somewhere in the middle of the last line.

Would it be a nice feature that AkelPad detected that if you press ARROW DOWN and the cursor doesn't move (it has nowhere to go), AkelPad creates a new line at the end and puts the cursor there? So in effect, it would be performing END + ENTER.

I know this is picky, but I think this is a really good idea Because then you could be holding arrow down, always ensuring you begin typing at a fresh new line.

I am a total newbie, but couldn't you press Ctrl+ArrowDown? Instead of holding down the arrow key until it no longer moves?

Ctrl+ArrowDown should bring you to the very end. To achieve your intended END+Enter in one go, record it as a Macro, click the Record button, then press Ctrl+ArrowDown followed by Enter. Then click the STOP button of the macro recorder. Assign it a keyshortcut or a context menu button or a toolbar button .....
