      Is there any way to get N++ to, when you doubleclick a word that contains dashes, to select the entire string, the same as it does for underscores?

      For example, if I have this text “wildcard-cert-key”, and I doubleclick cert, it only selects cert. I want it to auto-select the entire string “wildcard-cert-key”.

      Furthermore, the auto-highlighting of words will, in the above example, highlight “cert” everywhere; however if the entire “wildcard-cert-key” string is manually highlighted, I want that to be highlighted everywhere.

      Another Example: If I highlight “ca cert-key”, then everywhere that text string exists should be auto-highlighted.

      Thanks!

        @KyferEz , Welcome to the Notepad++ Community.

        Settings> Preferences > Delimiter, enable ☑Add your character as part of word, and include the hyphen - (and any other punctuation you want considered part of a “word”).
