Of course, there is an ambiguity whether you want the closing quote or the opening parenthesis... And there is an arbitrary precedence rule. IMO, a modifier key might help to disambiguate... It would also be a nice thing to have a keyboard combination producing the same effect, For example: - Escape left_arrow selects downto the left opening, - Escape right_arrow selects upto the right closing... Unless of course there's already a shortcut I'm not aware of... Nicolas 2011/3/23 DougEdmunds <dougedmunds@gmail.com>:
Double clicking just to the left of a closing brace/bracket/parenthesis etc normally goes backwards, finds the opening brace/bracket/parenthesis and highlights the material between them. Â It does not work correctly if the character immediately before the closing mark is a single or double quotation mark. Â Instead it always goes forward from the quotation mark to try to find another quotation mark further in the text.
