CTRL and Left/Right arrow key selection enhancement

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Press & hold the CTRL key plus the Left or right arrow key to select 
text.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The 'Text Selection' feature doesn't work exactly like it does in 
Microsoft Word or NotePad++. The editor includes special characters in its 
selection like the backward slash "\", "()", " ", characters. This is 
annoying as it means I have to over shot what I want to select then 
backtrack to get the exact item.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.9.9.7

Please provide any additional information below.

I would also like to have the same behaviour between pyscripter and notepad++.
Besides the "\" "()" and " " it also behaves different for "=", ".", "'", """.
Very anoying when you use CTRL+LEFT but have to 'correct' the selection.

Version:
2.0.0.0
