I don't know why you say that what I propose is not Macintosh tradition. 
I just tried it with Terminal, Console, Mail and it all works the same as 
in TextEdit. Which is that if you some amount beyond the end of the line, 
the newline character is also included. This is signaled by selecting the 
blank part after the end of the line.

I have an even shorter solution for you: triple-click the line :)
