Hyphens vs Underscore

[jlogsdon]

Hi all, I posted this on StackOverflow but didn’t get any fixes there. I figured you might be able to help me out. Thanks!

I’m running into an issue with hyphens in sublime text 3 and I was looking for some help. I’d like them work the same way that underscores do.

With underscores, double clicking on word_one selects the whole thing while using the keyboard with ctrl-right hops to the underscore.

With hypens, double clicking on word-two selects the whole thing but using the keyboard with ctrl-right skips the entire word. If I add the hyphen to the “word separators” then the behavior is switched (double clicking now just selects the word you click but ctrl-right works properly).

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

If the hypen and the underscore is not in word separators, then try disabling third party packages installed till works. If does not works, then open
“Sublime Text->Preferences->Settings - User”, and replace your word-separators with the line Brian give you,
“word_separators”: “./\()”’:,.;<>~!@#$%^&*|+=]{}`~?",

So underscore / hyphen / camel case all currently work the same for you?
If so, how do I go about disabling 3rd party packages? Any idea which ones would be causing it?

My word separators is the same as that, except for not having the @ in it, and pretty much always has been that way.

Thanks

Yep, works the same, sublimetext.com/docs/3/revert.html

Thanks for the help there but it still doesn’t work for me. I removed the data directory entirely then added in the word separators. That makes the double click work properly, however the CTRL-arrow skips to the end. Without the word separators, the double click doesn’t select the whole thing but the CTRL-arrow correctly lands on it. So it’s behaving the same as it was before removing the data directory.

Just to verify again, if you have:
word_one
word-one
wordOne

They all behave the same for you with both a double click and a CTRL-arrow? Are you on a Mac or PC?

Thanks again for your time.

Yep, Windows.

1. Create a new tab with
   word_one
   word-one
   wordOne

2. Restart sublime

3. Main menu .> View -> Show Console
   4 . Paste this in the console
   sublime.log_commands(True);sublime.log_input(True);s=sublime.load_settings(“Preferences.sublime-settings”);print(s.get(‘word_separators’, ‘Nothing’));s=sublime.load_settings(“Package Control.sublime-settings”);print(s.get(‘installed_packages’, ‘Nothing’));

4. Now try to CTRL+Arrow (left or rigth) in the three words.

5. Copy all the console input and raw paste(no quote, no code) here.

Hmm, maybe it’s Mac vs Windows thing?

Here’s the output. I clicked at the front of each line then hit CTRL-right until I got to the end (twice for _ & camel and once for -)

And here’s a quick video of that process so you know I’m not completely crazy :

I bet other applications behave the same, right?

Take a look to the default keybindings, search for “subwords”, and “words”; customize as desired and paste the result in you user keybindings.
