Suggestion: Extend double clicking with qualifier key

[pmk65]

When double clicking a text in WeBuilder, it will select the text between the dividers. But sometimes the number of dividers restricts the usability of double clicking.

Example:
Suppose i have the following text, then the characters " ", "\", "-" and "." acts as dividers.

Code: Select all

C:\Users\pmk\AppData\Roaming\Blumentals\WeBuilder\plugins\OpenLink\open-link.js

Then double clicking on "open-links" only selects one of the words, not the "full" word.

In cases like this, it would be nice if the double clicking feature was extended with qualifier key support.

Some ideas (Maybe it could be configurable?):

Holding down "Shift" key while double clicking, would exclude "-" from the divider list.
Holding down "Alt" key while double clicking, would exclude "." from the divider list.
Holding down "Shift+ Alt" key while double clicking, would exclude "-" and "." from the divider list.
Holding down "Ctrl" key while double clicking, would exclude all dividers except quotes, space and tab. (That would make it possible to select a full path/url)

This sounds quite complicated for the regular user but I'll bring it up. Maybe making double-click pluginizable is the right way?

Adding this feature wouldn't change the functionality for regular users, as without pressing a qualifier key it would just work as it does now.

I tried making a plugin to do it, but I couldn't find a way to merge the "double_click" and "keydown" signals.
The qualifier (2nd parameter in keydown signal) is only triggered when a key is pressed. So it's not possible to detect if the qualifier is not pressed. And nothing is selected in the "double_click" signal. Only when using "Script.TimeOut" I was able to get the selected text.
