double-click hyphen

Andrew Yushkov

hi, how to select a word with a hyphen?

.b-page__block

only the “page__block” is released when you double-click

Hello Andrew,

depending on the language scintilla defines chars which are part of the word or not.
To manipulate this you could use python script and function editor.setWordChars like

chars = editor.getWordChars() + “@#_()[]”
editor.setWordChars(chars)

which would mean, that the existing chars would be extended by @#_()[]. In your case you would add the hyphen.
If you put this in startup.py it will be automatically added each time you start npp.

Cheers

Thank you, the script added startup.po but it OPERATE only the current tab, how to do so when you open a new tab to run this script?

Hello Andrew,

I described here how it could be solved.
Basically, you need to register a callback which gets called when you open a new tab or switch tabs and extend the wordchars accordingly.
