Description

Hi, I am a system administrator and workig much with FQDNs.

The main reason I used Notepad++under Windows was that it allows you to customize the word character list and add a dot to it. This way, when you double-click on a server name with a fully quallified domain name, the whole name (including domain) is marked. I would really love it if this feature was available in NotepadNext!

Could you please implement this as soon as possible? If this function were available, I would finally have a usable and fantastic editor under Linux. Many thanks in advance!

Describe the solution you'd like

In Notepad++ you can configure this in the following place: "Settings/Preferences.../Delimiter -> Add your character as part of a word". In the config.xml it looks like this: <GUIConfig name="wordCharList" useDefault="no" charsAdded="." />

Describe alternatives you've considered

It does not necessarily have to be in the GUI. If I could set the option in the config file, I would be happy.

I've added in the option to specify it in the config file for now. You can open your ini file with a different text editor and add it in the Editor tag, something like this:

[Editor]
AdditionalWordChars=.

Many thanks for the quick implementation of this for me essential feature.

Are there any other ways (e.g. PayPal) to donate money to you, apart from sponsoring via github (as I don't want to share so much personal data with github)?

There's not. I totally understand and appreciate the offer though.
