---------------------------------------
Summary: Consistent behaviour of select next element in each editor
Key: NETBEANS-116
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-116
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: cnd - Editor, db - SQL Editor, java - Editor, javascript
- Editor, javascript - JSON, php - Editor, web - CSS Editor, web - CSS
Preprocessors (SASS, LESS, ...), web - HTML Editor
Affects Versions: Next
Reporter: Christian Lenz
Priority: Major
We need a consistent behaviour in the each editor for "select next element". It
is so inconsistent and it is only working well in the java editor.
I will create subtickets for each editor. Next element selection should be
separated for those characters in strings: `$-,.;:SPACE{}()[]\/'"*+#` and maybe
some others but I don't know.
Examples:
"This is my string"; So is the cursor in "my" and I hit the "Select next
element action", it should select "my" after hitting it again, it should select
the whole string w/o quotes. After hitting again, it should select the string
with quotes.
"test -r test"; Cursor is before "-" and hitting the action, it should select
the whole string, or -r I don't now. In IntelliJ it selecets the whole string.
If the cursor is before the "r" it selects "r" first, aftert hitting again, it
selects the whole string.
"^3.0.0"; Cursor is before "3", after hitting the action, it should select "3".
After hitting again, it should select the whole string.
It is a bit complicated to describe but for strings it should be consistent in
Java, JS, CSS, SCSS, LESS, HTML, C/C++, PHP, JSON and so on. As I said I will
create sub tickets for the editors.
The next thing is that there is more than strings. So the next consistency is
needed for blocks like if, for, functions, classes etc. All of this alreday
exists more or less for Java and JS but not that good. Please have a look into
IntelliJ or WebStorm and hit ctrl + w for this feature. It works like a charm
on each editor.
So there we have HTML, XHTML and XML, where it should work too. It is only
working ok in HTML but not perfect.

Chris
