Delimiter Configuration & Column Selection

#1

Hello

I am sorry if this has been discussed before. What’s the easiest way using two-button mouse in Windows 11 to perform column selection in Sublime Text? Secondly, what is the way to configure or modify delimiter characters? If I see an IPv4 address such as 192.168.100.100 and I want to double-click anywhere on it to select all I need to remove the “dot” from the delimiter configuration.

Thanks

If using mouse is crucial, customized sublime-mousemap would be required to rebind the command from button3 to something else.

"word_separators" setting.

Hello @deathaxe

Thanks for the reply. I will check the setting for word delimiters. For the column selection, is there a default way? For example in Notepad++ you can press ALT key and use the left mouse button to perform column or block selection. The ALT key has to be kept pressed throughout.

Can anyone explain the first part? “./\()”

// Characters that are considered to separate words
"word_separators": "./\\()\"'-:,.;<>~!@#$%^&*|+=[]{}`~?",

// Characters that are considered to separate sub-words
"sub_word_separators": "_",

The default is pressing and holding middle mouse button. If that’s not present, default mouse bindings need to be customized. To do so, run Preferences: Mouse Bindings from command palette.

Great help @deathaxe Both are done so Notepad++ behavior by customizing mouse binding as below.

[
{
“button”: “button1”, “modifiers”: [“alt”],
“press_command”: “drag_select”,
“press_args”: {“by”: “columns”}
}
]
