      This is driving me bonkers. Is there a way to select all the text in a paragraph, but not the paragraph itself?

      If you turn on invisibles and quad-click a paragraph, you’ll see that it selects the paragraph symbol as well.

      What I currently do is:

      1. Quad-click
      2. Shift + Right Arrow, Left Arrow, Left Arrow

      Anyone know of a better way?

      Here’s a GREP search that will select everything but the hard return at the end of the paragraph.

      Find: ^.+?$

      Apart from that grep, though, yeah, there’s no good way other than a little keyboard-shortcut dance.
