Bug: double-clicking to select word

[JuriTuuti]

A tiny bug: double clicking color definitions like #0073E6 only selects the numbers, but not the pound sign.

Hey @JuriTuuti, that’s actually intentional. It’s set up that way so it’s easier to select just the color code and swap it out quickly, without the # getting in the way. I think most other editors do it the same way too — isn’t that right?

But, if we copy -paste a lot of color texts, having the # also copied would increase speed. Sounds like a good speed booster on fields we know is a color. But this could be a bit tricky to implement. The reason most editors behave that way is because the double-click selection happens at the text level, before syntax analysis is done. So it just behaves as any other text. But in this case, we need to do a special handling if we detect that its a color.

Yes, now that I think of it, it does make sense that it is the way it is. I just hardly every use double-click, and it was not what I expected, so I thught it was a bug. I take the bug report back.
