Double click text selection in CFEclipse

Question

In CFEclipse, I do a lot of double-clicking to select text. The standard behavior is to select all text within the nearest word boundaries. This is problematic when editing code where the original editor didn't use camel-case; for example, they wrote "myObject" as "my_object".

Is there a way to change the double-click selection behavior to include '_' as a valid word character?

Answer 1

In the latest version of CFEclipse, there is now the option to define what characters are considered word boundaries when double-clicking, and also the option to use different characters when using alt or shift keys.

In Preferences, goto CFEclipse > Editor > Text Selection to update this:

Answer 2

CFEclipse does not recognize either the underscore or a period as a character for selecting text with a double-click. There is no way that I know of other than rolling your sleeves up and hacking the editor code to change it. I doubt that this will be changed any time soon with the impending release of Bolt from Adobe.
