How do I disable “cursor beyond end of line”?

I've searched the internet and saw posts as far back as 2007 complaining about this. Is there really still no option to disable this behaviour in Delphi XE and beyond?

    It's very convenient for me to able to scroll down having the cursor keep horizontal position so I can verify things I want to are in fact aligned.

    End of line, or end of file? What would you like to see instead in, eg, Jeroen's scenario of scrolling down?

    David Millington: End-of-Line as I mentioned in the original message. Most text editors have an option for that behaviour. If you move the cursor up or down lines most of them remember the original cursor x position. If a line is shorter than X, then the cursor jumps to the last character of that line. If the line is longer than X, the cursor will be at the x offset. You can try pretty much any decent text editor out there, they all behave the same as I just described. Mate's Pluma editor, Gnome's gEdit, jEdit, Eclipse IDE, Intelij IDEA, Lazarus IDE etc.

    I'm exactly the opposite of Jeroen - I find it very inconvenient because now I need an extra key press (END key) to get to the end of a shorter line of code.

    Graeme Geldenhuys Ok, thanks for clarifying. I'm already tracking this Jira, so no special need for votes, but FYI the QP for it is quality.embarcadero.com - Log in - Embarcadero Technologies
