Feature Request: Double Click Selection #988
Description
Summary of the new feature/enhancement
Double-clicking the text buffer creates a selection encompassing the "word".
The delimiters for what makes a "word" are defined in the settings (described below).
Dragging after a double click maintains the "beginning of the word" anchor but changes the other one.
Settings
| Property Name | Type | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| "selectionDelimiters" | array | list of characters used as delimiters | [' ', '/', '\'] |
Use case: easily select a path or word from the selection.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
If possible, have XAML identify double-click. Everything else should be pretty straightforward. The TermControl will work with the Terminal to create the selection. When the event is triggered, we need to check the delimiters from the settings to decide what to select.
