[jira] [Created] (NETBEANS-705) Disable cut/copy line when no
selection is made works no more
Monkey created NETBEANS-705:
-------------------------------
Summary: Disable cut/copy line when no selection is made works no more
Key: NETBEANS-705
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-705
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Components: editor - Key bindings
Affects Versions: 8.2
Reporter: Monkey
NB supports cut/copy line when no selection is made which is rather controversial as it may lead to inadvertent edits. IntelliJ has a way of disabling that feature called "most-viewed intellij issue as no sane dev on earth wants to copy emptiness and yet the solution is held out of reach" at [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32895522/disable-copying-entire-line-when-nothing-is-selected-in-intellij] (it was not me who said this but it shows well how much the feature is controversial).
There is a guy at [https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192613] which gives an answer in the style which I have heard several times from the "late NB" devs:
I am sorry you hate it but there are users who love it. There is no plan to change it.
Yet NB could disable the behavior by adding a parameter -J-Dorg.netbeans.editor.disable.no.selection.copy=true (works no more).
