But I’m probably wrong, lol.

The problem is with things like: +foo+ and +bar+.

If you double-click the second + then how to know if we should search left or right for the paired character?

We could look at surrounding whitespace, but then there is (+foo+) with no whitespace around. So we could look at word characters, but then " is also a paired character and we have things like: printf("%s…", arg); where neither side of the first " has whitespace or wordcharacters.

That said, I’ve made a note about this, I think we could do a heuristic based on the above thinking that should get it right most of the time, and it would actually be awesome to have ⇧⌘B work in strings.

Though right now there is “Select Current Scope” which works to select the current “unit”, this might also be helpful in determining whether to search left/right of +foo+, assuming the grammar matches this.
