Bug ID: 416022 Summary: Treat underscores as symbols instead of letters Product: frameworks-ktexteditor Version: unspecified Platform: Neon Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: sephiroth...@hotmail.it Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Underscores are currently treated as letters instead of symbols, making it impossible to use "ctrl+right/left" to navigate text which uses underscores as separator characters. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. write "this_is_a_text_using_underscores_as_separators" and "this-time-we-are-using-hyphens"; 2. use "ctrl+right/left" to navigate through the words; 3. see how the first text is treated as a whole word, instead of multiple words using underscores as separator characters, while the second one is correctly identified as being made of multiple used with hyphens used as separators. OBSERVED RESULT Underscores are treated like letters, so long sequences of characters using underscores as separators are treated as if they were a single word. This is especially frustrating if one has to select a portion of text inside a string which uses underscores as separators. EXPECTED RESULT Underscores are treated the same as all other symbols such as hyphens, commas, dots and so on, so that one can navigate text using "ctrl+right/left". As far as I have been able to asses GNOME follows this convention, which appears more intuitive and practical.
