Bug 333220

I think the cursor position after a 'Join lines' (Ctrl + Alt + j) should be between the two joint lines, and not at the end of the line. This helps to edit the new joint line, and to not go back to the middle.
In 'vi', the behavior of ctrl+j is like that. It does not matter where the cursor is in the first line, the application will join the lines, and put the cursor after the "old" end of the first line, in the added space that is before the "old" second line.

Let's say the cursor is the underscore, and the join line option is called there.

// First_line
// Second line

Then, after the operation, the cursor and the lines should be

// First line_// Second line

As you can see, the cursor is between the "old" two lines.

The current behavior is like that

// First line // Second line_

And you should have to go back. This is uncomfortable to edit comments.


Reproducible: Always
