Well, and in fact what I was trying to select by double-clicking the "+" _is_ a scope.

So maybe the double-clicking thing could be extended to mean, "if what's being double-clicked is a scope-boundary, select the scope"

This is sort of possible by making a “character class” setting for the scope.

But this then affects everything that works on words, e.g. moving word left/right, selecting word, etc., will also treat it as one unit, which is often undesured.

Another possibility is to overload mouse clicks for this scope, right now we only have the ability to overload single-click, you’d need to create a new macro with:

scope selector: comment & dyn.modifier.option
semantic class: callback.mouse-click
content: ( { command = 'selectCurrentScope:'; } )

This macro will trigger whenever option-clicking inside a comment and it’ll do a “select current scope”, hence this is a way to select the entire comment.

You’d replace comment in the above with the scope of your +foo+ units.

I can probably add callback.mouse-doubleclick which would get rid of the option modifier requirement.
