Allow free movement of cursor

I've used C++Builder 1 for many years and there is one great thing about their editor (which appears all the greater when you start using one that does not have this feature) - you can move around the cursor freely, even past the end of line. If you start writing past the end of line, blanks are filled in automatically. Pressing "End" still jumps to the last character in the line, as usual.

This makes things much easier when e.g. trying to comment only part of a line. It would be nice to have and has no real drawbacks.

Thank you very much for pointing this out. In that case, the feature request only entails this setting being enabled by default, so that even unaware users can benefit from this.
