[TxMt] Re: Double-click selects : and @ in ruby -- how is this defined?

[Walter Lee Davis]

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.

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.
