Selecting whole word text

Post by jeffc »

I had to re-install version 4.6 but now I cannot select whole words as I did before. Previous when I double clicked on words such as #abc, $abc, run-edit-list, the entire word was selected. When I do it now, the selected text doesn't include the # or the $ and when I double click on run-edit-list I only get the word I clicked on - not all 3.

You could try adding your characters to the "Other Character in words"
under Configure->Preferences->Document Classes->*class*->Syntax
When I add for example "-" TP does select all of "aaa-bbb-ccc". HTH
Then I open up and see
the person fumbling here is me
a different way to be
