How to mark whole string with mouse double click??

[daniel.337]

Hi there,

I would like mark a whole string as e-mails like test@test.com or passwords like zeru4"R+34d completely by double clicking this string with the mouse.

By doing so, only the part before the @ or the + becomes marked.

How and where can I change this behaviour of TextPad?

I hope that there exist an option because I would regret if not, this is very useful.

Yes, you can change this. The setting is specific to each document class, but you can change it for all documents as follows:

1. Click Configure > Preferences.
2. Click the plus sign (+) next to Document Classes.
3. Click Default.
4. Select Apply these settings to all document classes.
5. Click the plus sign (+) next to Default.
6. Click Syntax.
7. In Other characters in words, enter the characters that you want to include as part of the string, e.g. @."+

Great, that looks good!

But the changes do not work, and I wonder why the checkbox "turn on syntax ..." in the suboption "syntax" can not be actived, it remains grey.

And idea?

Try this instead:

1. Click Configure > Preferences.
2. Click the plus sign (+) next to Document Classes.
3. Click the plus sign (+) next to Text.
4. Click Syntax.
5. In Other characters in words, enter the characters that you want to include as part of the string, e.g. @."+

You need to repeat this for all document types that you want to make the change for for which there is a Document Class, e.g. C/C++ source files, HTML files, Java source files, etc.
