Selecting to beginning of line doesn't work

[shukmeister]

Selecting a line creates inconsistent behavior.

I set "Go to start of line" to ⌃← and "Go to end of line" to ⌃→ and this works properly.

However, when I try to select the words that I'm trying to move past by holding shift (⇧), the cursor jumps much farther in the text then where the line ends. For example, if I select ⇧⌃←, instead of going to the start of the line, the selection goes back through the doc to the first bullet point it reaches. Using ⇧⌃← on a bullet pointed line seems to have proper behavior.

Are you able to reproduce this on a new vault with the default set of hotkeys and no other plugins enabled?

I attempted the same thing (with a slight variation of the hotkey*) but the cursor doesn't move at all with Shift held down.

_{*I couldn't seem to assign ⌃← or ⌃→ to a command at all, so this was with ⌃⌥←}

@timhor, I was able to replicate the behavior on a fresh vault but I figured out what the problem is. When I copy + paste some text that has bullet points, the bullets don't translate properly into obsidian's MD bullet format so when I press "⌃←" the cursor jumps all the way back to the first instance of a obsidian-style bullet point. The bullet points that I copy in look like dashes "-" while the obsidian style look like circles. I am able to fix the behavior by manually changing all the pasted bullet points into the obsidian style bullet points one at a time

Ah alright, glad you found a fix. Does that solve the original issue you were having then?
