[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |UNCONFIRMED Ever confirmed|1 |0 --- Comment #3 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Dieter from comment #2) > How is it possible to distinguish a dot at he end of a sentence > from a dot, that is part of an abbreviation? > > What do you think? 2-part answer. - How many times do you have an abbreviation with a dot in a sentence? (i.e., statistically, relatively rare case for selection) - admittedly, a missing capitalization is also a rare case, but the current behavior requires a "repair" action (i.e., new key strokes to back up because the cursor/selection has gone too far), while the proposed change can easily handle the abbreviation case by repeating the command (i.e., same keystroke, Ctrl+Shift+S, no need to move hands). Here is a test case: This is abc. and nothing else. how does this work. Actual behavior if starting at T and pressing Ctrl+Shift+S, then entire line is selected (which then requires having to back up). Proposed behavior: Stops selection after "abc" and then stops selection after "else". Additional note in relation to your misspelling example. The proposed change would make it easier to place the cursor in the right place for correction, unlike the current behavior. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
