Can I specifying word separator for double-click selection in ConEmu?

Hi maximus,

I encountered the same issue as the link superuser, below is the detailed information:

In ConEmu, when I double click on a line, it's going to select from the previous to the next white space. However, I'm looking for an option (if it exists) to specify word separators other than spaces.

For example, if I double-click on the "host" part below, only "host" is selected. If I double-click on "home", "/home/user/" is going to be selected. Any idea if it is possible to do this in ConEmu?

Is there any option to specify a word separator?

It is very useful to specify separators. Take the following grep search result as example:

./arch/x86/include/asm/acpi.h:159: * memmap is discarded after efi_free_boot_services(). So if

When I double click by left key of mouse, I want to select this string: ./arch/x86/include/asm/acpi.h

But actually I got this: ./arch/x86/include/asm/acpi.h:159

I hope the user can specify : as separator. or instead specify what characters can be treated as a sting(letters number . / - _ etc.).

Could the developers add this feature? Thanks.

Yes, I'm looking for this feature too. When I double click on tc_modify_qdisc, tc_modify_qdisc(struct is selected. Actually, I only want to get tc_modify_qdisc.

static int tc_modify_qdisc(struct sk_buff *skb, struct nlmsghdr *n,

ConEmu is very powerful. I think this is the only shortcoming comparing with gnome-terminal.
