I am growing more and more frustrated with word selection in Sublime. By word selection, I mean either double-click mouse selection or alt+shift+arrow selection using the keyboard.
I’ve been trying to figure out why it feels so broken compared to other text fields on OSX, and I’ve spent hours trying to tweak the ‘word_separators’ setting to no avail.
Jon- if you are able to add a setting to treat each character in ‘word_separators’ as its own ‘word’ during word selection, or at least add a strict mode for this type of movement so that the characters in ‘word_separators’ are NEVER grouped with other characters to form words (including spaces, tabs, line breaks), that would be a huge improvement.
Thanks again for all your work on Sublime. I still love it, despite the crazy word selection.
