Pango text select with double click stops at underscore.

What would be really nice is;
1. single click positions the cursor.
2. double click text select delimited by an underscore or white space.
3. triple click text select delimited by white space.
4. quadruple click text select delimited by '\n'.

I have made a Gedit plugin that allows this to be configured:

This plugin kicks a$$. Thanks Derek.

I like this config:

single click: Geditword
double click: Gnome terminal default
triple click: Line+
quad click: Paragraph+
quint click: None.

This seems to operate in a nice logical way for me. I hope the plugin
makes it into Ubuntu's gedit-plugins package ;-)

On a side note the class browser plugin is also a must have, IMHO.

Thanks, James. I've enjoyed using it just while writing it, and I'm still experimenting with different configurations for my own use.

I will be putting up a new version sometime soon that let's you associate configurations with code languages. For example, I currently have my quintuple-click set to select a Python function, but on any other kind of code I would want that to select something else.

Thanks for the plugin recommendation. I've been using a similar plugin called Tag Browser, but I just tried out Class Browser, and it does seem to be just a little better. Tag Browser doesn't show attributes in the tree, for one thing.

Hi Derek!

Thanks for this useful plugin!

I second that! Your plugin is fantastic Derek, many thanks.

thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! Nice plugin.

It took me a little while to get it right though because i had to learn regular expressions. :D

Also, i put the plugin in the /usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/ folder so when i made changes, they'd work, but if i quit gedit and restart, none of the settings would be saved since ROOT privileges were required. So in order to set up the settings, i opened gedit as admin and set up my config so i could get underscores included with double click. Then, when opening the gedit as normal user the settings are there.

Perhaps add a feature to detect the need for root password so gnome can ask for the root password and save it for the session.

Oh yeah, one more thing. This should be filed as a bug/request for Gedit, not Ubuntu. Ubuntu doesn't *make* Gedit. It's part of the Gnome desktop. ;)

What i was mentioning above, a simple fix is to make the plugin store it's settings in gconf for the user.

This bug was fixed in the package gedit - 3.18.1-1ubuntu1
