Ctl + left, Ctl + right, Ctl + delete

Post by tvienti »

Control + (left/right/delete) highlights or deletes on word boundaries. Please make these word boundaries configurable. When coding, I run into a lot of times when I wish I could control (left/right) through a_var_with_underscores to change part of it, but I have to arrow through each character instead. I could even see it being useful to recognize CapitalsWithinAVariable as word boundaries.

When searching "All documents" for something, please bring the document to front that found the match.

Blessedly, this already exists. You can either set it at the document or the class level. Document level, right click the document and select properties. Under Syntax tab, there is a field called "Other chracters in words:" Remove the underscore from that field and the control navigation will behave as you intend.

To set it at the class level, go the preference (Ctrl-Q, P), Document Classes and alter all the classes that have this behaviour.
