    Hello, i’m having some text in this format:
    user@maildotcom:passWORD123#*abc

    i’m trying to figure out how to highlight the whole user/password text just by double clicking it (obviously, i want the ’ #* ’ chars to be selected, it only needs to stop at the ’ : ’ )

    already tried > preferences > delimiter but could not make it work, any tip please?
