Option to force double-click to select a single word

[pintassilgo]

It's universal for any text field to select the word under caret when you double-click. Cuda has a feature that it recognizes var names and selects the entire name even if it's composed by multiple words (Kebab case). For instance, in a CSS file, if I dbclick #menu-title Cuda selects menu-title, not just menu.

I'm not used to that, In Np++ it always selects the word and I think it's better. For instance, I needed to change a margin-left to margin-right. I would usually press Ctrl+Backspace to delete the word before the caret, then type right. But in Cuda, it treats margin-left as a single word so it deletes everything.

I understand Cuda behavior as a good feature, but it would be good to have an option to change this.

I don't think I need to compare my requests to other editors, but just for you to know: VSCode behaves as I want, SublimeText 3 behaves as I want, Sublime 4 is like Cuda, Kate is like Cuda, Notepad++ as already said is as I want.

By the way, Kate is a bit different to Cuda as it also includes the 'type' in selection. For instance, #menu-title in CSS means a node with the ID menu-title, while .menu-title means a node with the CLASS menu-title. I think Kate approach is better, as it treats, for instance, #menu-title as a single word, because if I delete this word I can type a class seletor instead of a id. So, as a secondary suggestion for this issue, it would be better if Cuda also includes the type in CSS word in the default behavior of treating the entire var name as a single word.

Kate's work and VSCode's work can be emulated if you change the option "nonword_chars" (do it in lexer override - for the CSS lexer it is file "lexer CSS.json").

to select dot-chat in ".menu-title", remove dot-char from "nonword_chars".
but be aware that "test...test" and "test..." will also be treated as one word.

Yes, thanks, I realized that so I removed my comment.
