When I'm programming, I always use underscores in my function and variable names, because I can double-click on them and get the whole thing. E.g.:

get_human_DNA
sampled_DNA

However, most other programmers write their variables like this:

get.human.DNA
sampled.DNA

...when I double-click on these, I only get a selection up to the period.
 E.g., just "sampled" or just "DNA". Is there a way to change this
behavior, and get the whole word, including the period?

I know it's just another click or two to select the whole word manually,


Well, not click per se, just drag to the component at the other end. For example (using your example), double-click on "get" and while keeping your clicker pressed, drag to the "D".

And I just noticed that Eudora treats word boundaries the exact opposite (dots vs underscores); probably for selecting email addresses faster.
