Hi, I decided to have a go at changing the editor's selection behavior to more closely resemble windows explorer and other programs. It was discussed a while ago in the discord suggestions'. (I'm Mobius#4304)
message here
New behavior (with l being the selected letter):
no modifiers = Clear selection, add l to selection
Ctrl = Add l to existing selection
Shift = Add all letters from the last selected letter up to and including l to existing selection
Ctrl + Shift = (See Shift)
Alt = Clear selection and select word surrounding l (space delimited)
Ctrl + Alt = Add word surrounding l to existing selection
Shift + Alt = Same behavior as Shift, then afterwards select word (space delimited) around l
Ctrl + Shift + Alt = (See Shift + Alt)
I did also change the fact that Ctrl blocks adding a letter to your selection if you're dragging an unselected letter around, for consistency's sake.
This is my first open source pull request ever, so let me know if I dun goofed somewhere. 😁
