Is code pane should show secondary selection on any characters like spaces and tabs?
When you select single space on code pane all spaces in code become selected. To me it is look very weird. If I'm not alone on this feeling we can integrate issue 16962 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/16962/Code-pane-should-not-show-all-spaces...> For more details current behavior is: If you select "self", all "self"s in the code pane are selected with "secondary selection color" If you select "." all dots are selected. If you select a space-char all spacess are selected If you select a tab-char all tabs are selected ... With my fix you will not see secondary selection on any separators (space ,tab). It was my first impression when I start to navigate/select text by command left/right. And spaces selection during this process looks to me very bad.
Yes, I think that would be good. The space selection is strangeâ¦.

Hi Denis, I think this is cool :). I'm anal enough to hate spaces hidden before tabs, but they're invisible...unless, selecting a space highlights all spaces in the method :) (I also hate trailing white space; wish it weren't so prevalent) _,,,^..^,,,_ (phone)

I find the auto-selection of all spaces really annoying, since it happens a lot by accident. I just had not complained yet since I thought it was temporary alpha-code for debugging. I've never accidentally had the tab auto-selection occur (actually I never noticed the feature), so I could live with that, and that maybe that is sufficient for Eliot(?). An intuitive alternative might be that it only works in the left-margin-whitespace and shows both tab and spaces together - i.e. its not a space or a tab you are selecting, its whitespace. cheers -ben
