Quoted text not selected correctly #6

Open robcsi opened 10 years ago

robcsi commented 10 years ago

Hi,

I've been using this plugin for a while, and I like it very much.

When starting selection inside quoted text, I noticed that at the second selection action, the plugin selects outside of the quotes (space delimited text object), rather than the whole content, if the part selected at first is a word at the beginning or at the end of the quoted text.

Example:

if (method() == "some example text")

If I stand on the word text and select it, the next selection will select text"). The same happens for standing on some and selecting twice: "some will be selected. The whole content of the quotes (some example text), without them, will be selected only on the third selection action.

Is this a bug, or the designed behavior? For me it is more intuitive to have the whole content selected right after selecting either of the words in the quotes.

Seems like a bug as I would have also expected it to select 'some example text' before grabbing the double quotes or closing parenthesis.
