Public bug reported:
When double-clicking on text to highlight it, Terminal decides where the
"word" ends and thus the extent of the selected text.
I'd like to propose that it consider colons (':') as word breaks. For
example, it's not uncommon for me to use "grep text *" and then
highlight a resulting filename. With the current behavior, the filename
is not accurately highlighted with a double-click (it includes the colon
and/or more text on right of colon).
My gnome-terminal instance does this correctly. I don't *believe* I
configured it that way especially. But maybe I did?
The one problem with breaking on colons is that text like
http://hello.com/ doesn't break like you might want it to. But I think
it's a tradeoff that is worth it.
