The problem that's going to be run into is that there are so many edit controls, across various programs, each with their own caret handling, that I think any attempt at a universal solution is tantamount to madness.

thanks Skwire,
I was thinking that could be a possibility --
also considering it's a relatively minor annoyance, I think we can safely drop the idea.

You can do selective things with AHK without too much difficulty.  I have a catch all hotkey program called Transpose because I originally wrote it to transpose the last 2 letters typed when I hit Control t.

Other than adding new hotkeys the maintenance is adding ahk window classes to groups.  Now and then a browser will change its main window class name so you have to add it etc..

But by using #IfWinActive you can selectively change the behavior of the hotkey depending on which program has the focus.

I'll attach the source in case you want to look at it.
