I am slowly migrating from 1.5, and one thing that I really liked about the former was that if you double-clicked a symbol :foo or instance variable @bar, your selection cursor only grabbed the name, not the metacharacter preceding it. This made it really easy to change the content without altering the shell. Several times lately I have been caught out by this difference in TM2 — there, a double-clck selection grabs the entire thing. Muscle memory is foiled.
Is there a place in the Ruby bundle syntax that controls this behavior?
Thanks,
Walter
Not sure if this solves your problem but as a Ruby programmer this was the FAQ entry that made me switch to TM2:

Thanks, I will look into that, but at first read, it doesn't look exactly like what I'm thinking of. In TM 1.5, punctuation of all kinds was treated as a word boundary when you double-clicked to make a selection. I added the underscore in the TM 1.5 preferences in the Word Characters field, so snake-cased words would be treated as whole words. But in this case, : and @ appear to be treated as part of the word, and while I could use this example you linked to to add more characters, it's not apparent to me how I would remove them in the same interface.

The fix in the FAQ for “Completion considers $var, @var, and var as different” is exactly what you want.
It links to a longer blog post explaining the concept of character classes, but if you do not care about this, you can just follow the steps given in the FAQ entry.
Thanks a lot, this works perfectly.
