Always select closest word

[ProgerXP]

This is likely a Scintilla feature.

Document with two lines (| indicate cursor positions):

|  aa bb
|  'aa bb

Place cursor at line 1, Ctrl+Space - aa will be selected. This is good.

Place cursor at line 2, Ctrl+Space - the entire line will be selected. This is bad - it should behave as line 1, i.e. locate the closest word by right-scanning and then select it. For selecting a line there is Ctrl+Shift+Space hotkey.

In other words, for both lines selection should be the same.

Place cursor at line 1, Space - aa will be selected. This is good.

Cannot reproduce.
Press on Space-key should insert whitespace character (0x20) and will move whole line to the right. I can't get how it may affect current document selection. Please provide your INI file and animation GIF (if possible).

Sorry, I entirely missed the modifier - it's a hotkey, thus it's Ctrl+Space for "select word" (and Ctrl+Shift+Space for "select line").

[cshnik]

Fixed.

Extend this behaviour so that it works left-side too. Document:

aa bb ' |

Ctrl+Space currently selects the entire line. Instead, make it select closest left-side word (bb), or if there's none - do nothing. Make it the same for right-side scanning (in the first post in this issue), i.e. when there is no close word - do nothing, do not select the line.

Ctrl+Space will never select a complete line after this change.
