Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-891:
--------------------------------------
The logic in TextInput's "selectSpan" (for mouse double click to select a
"word") and the Ctrl-Left/Ctrl-Right to skip "words" were not consistent, and
probably weren't right anyway, since the former was using "Java identifier
part" as the "word" character. So, unify the two and switch to "Unicode
identifier part" as the metric.

> Key: PIVOT-891
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-891
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: wtk-terra
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2, 2.0.4
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
> Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: text-selection
> Fix For: 2.0.3, 2.1
>
>
> Currently (in TextArea at least) if you type Shift-Down and select a line or
> two, then do Shift-Up it will extend the beginning of the area, instead of
> reducing the end that you just extended. This is not how any other editor
> works.
> Also would like to have double-click select the "word" the mouse is pointing
> to, as other editors do.
> We'd like TextArea and TextPane (at least, maybe TextInput also) do the same
> things.
