Renaming double-click word delimiters

Post by brettcode »

Is this documented or configurable anywhere?

What I'm talking about is if you edit/rename a file/directory, then double-click to select text, the word boundary/delimiters include a period, and the selection does not include the trailing space.

For example, in File Explorer, "Brett's 0.9 File.txt", would select "Brett's " (with the trailing space) if double-clicked or select "0.9 " if double-clicked.

In XYplorer, only "Brett's" (without the trailing space) gets selected, which I actually prefer. But, a period is considered a word delimiter, so only "0" gets selected.

This is just a trivial example, of course. One of my favorite text editors is AxelPad because you can configure the word delimiters.

I'll add a tweak, probably later even a UI setting. Was on my list anyway.

Awesome! I have a lot of filenames with revision numbers in them. :)

Well worth the lifetime license as XYplorer is constantly getting new features!

So, did you just remove the dot from the default list of delimiters, or did you apply other changes?
