Select line from first non whitespace char to end

[CptPotato]

I'm looking for some way to extend the selection to the line bounds (like the current x / X) but starting at the first non-whitespace character.

Is it currently possible to bind a key that does that? I'm trying to get a similar behavior to vim's Shift C.

This might not work quite the same but you can extend to line bounds with X and then trim the whitespace from the ends of the selection with _

Nice, I didn't know about _.

x_c is a whole lot better than gsvglc 👀

I also bound the selection part to Altx for convinience: "A-x" = [ "extend_to_line_bounds", "trim_selections" ]

In case trimming the trailing whitespace wasn't desirable in this case, g s t Enter can almost be used instead, selecting up to the newline, but it does select the following line if used on a completely empty line or, strangely, one with only a single character. I suspect the latter is a bug.

If you're on a line with a single character, then the cursor is already positioned just before the newline character, so going to the next one on the next line is intended behaviour.

As it relates to this issue, you may be right, but I believe nevertheless there's a bug in that functionality, as reported here now: #4065
