Hi –

Again, Love ST…

What I cannot understand is that a text editor of this magnitude has not once been thought to be used by coders outside of the realm of HTML and Co…

I use ST to code a lot of diff. things. And for the world of me, I cannot understand WHY I can’t double click a number with decimals and have ST select the entire number instead of just selecting
either the left or the right of the dot or comma. I.e. double-clicking 0.2898933 will either select the zero or the 2898933.

This is SO tedious and I can’t believe this even happening

Could you please - ASAP - give us an option for such…

IF there already IS an option for this, please forgive my post and point me in the right direction

Thx
Morten

If nothing else, you could take the . out of your “word_separators” setting, but that may lead to more headaches down the road. Is there a way to check the surrounding text when selecting, and apply a regex to it to only trigger when the . is surrounded by numbers? I know in the context of some keymap settings, there are “following_text” and “preceding_text” arguments, which you can use to check around the caret. For example:

{ "keys": "shift+enter"], "command": "run_macro_file", "args": {"file": "res://Packages/Default/Add Line in Braces.sublime-macro"}, "context":
	
		{ "key": "setting.auto_indent", "operator": "equal", "operand": true },
		{ "key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": true, "match_all": true },
		{ "key": "preceding_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "\\{$", "match_all": true }, // This line
		{ "key": "following_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "^\\}", "match_all": true } // And this one
	]
},

Maybe your answer lies there?
