Re: [gedit-list] Copying: numbers & words w/ Gedit 2.30.3

Yes, that's the sort of thing Click Config was made for.

Here is my regex for simulating the built-in selection behavior:
[a-zA-Z]+|[0-9]+|[^a-zA-Z0-9]+

Here is the same thing, modified to include numbers with letters:
[a-zA-Z0-9]+|[^a-zA-Z0-9]+

In the "define a selection" section, type "Alphanumeric" for the name, copy that second regex into the regex box, and click 'Add'.  Then select "Alphanumeric" for the double click.

Yesterday before I left work I downloaded a plugin called "Click Config" from http://code.google.com/p/gedit-click-config/ . I have not yet used this plugin, but it purports to configure regular expressions for various mouse clicks – single, double, etc. This allows the user to define what characters are selected on a “word selection”, that is, a double click.

 

This has been one of my biggest gripes while using gedit. Hopefully, this plugin will fix that issue.

Greetings All,
I have come across an interesting observation.  When using Gedit on Ubuntu 10.04 I have found that when I try to copy an alphanumerical string (e.g. name1 or 1name) by double left clicking I am only able to 'pick up' the 'name' portion only without the number as a suffix or prefix.  Vice versa when I click on the number I pick up the number and do not get the name. 

Is this a pecularity of my system or of Gedit 2.30.3?  Has anyone else noticed this??
Cheers,
Matt
