Here’s some behavior that seems like a bug to me, or at least an annoying inconsistency. When using Ctrl-D to multi-select, it respects the “Case sensitive” setting of the Find bar, but NOT the “Whole word” setting. To reproduce:
- Bring up the Find bar
- Type a word that occurs multiple times in the text, with different casing, and sometimes as a whole word, and sometimes as part of a word; note that all occurences become outlined
- Turn on the Case sensitive setting; note that only the instances in the same case remain outlined
- Hit Ctrl-D a bunch of times; note that only the case-matching instances (the outlined ones) get selected
- Click somewhere to deselect everything
- Turn off the Case sensitive setting
- Turn on the Whole word setting in the Find bar; note that only the whole word instances are outlined
- Select the first outlined instance
- Hit Ctrl-D; note that suddenly all of the non-whole word instances have become outlined as well
- Hit Ctrl-D a bunch more times; note that all occurrences of the text will get selected, regardless of whether they are whole words, even though the Whole word setting of the Find bar is active
When I do a search and see a bunch of outlined instances with the first one highlighted, I expect that hitting Ctrl-D a bunch of times will select only those instances. It is counterintuitive that the first press of Ctrl-D will suddenly add more candidates for selection, and is often not what I want.
