Dear KWrite/Kate Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to request a small 
feature that I believe could improve the user experience for many users.

Currently, in Kate Version 24.05.2 (and possibly other versions), when 
triple-clicking a line to select it, the end-of-line (newline) character 
is also included in the selection. While I understand that this may be 
the desired behavior for some, it can be quite inconvenient for others, 
especially when one frequently copies lines of code without wanting the 
newline character.

I would like to suggest adding an option (perhaps a checkbox in the 
settings) that allows users to disable the inclusion of the newline 
character when triple-clicking a line. This would provide more 
flexibility and control over text selection behavior.

Thank you for considering this feature request, and I appreciate all the 
hard work that goes into maintaining such a fantastic tool!

Best regards,

David
