Hi Folks,
I've just been using Eclipse 3.3.0 as an editor for Lua using the 'Lunar
Eclipse' plugin, but I've got an irritating problem with text selection.
Often I have a line like:
self.myObject:MyMethod(blah)
and I'd like to be able to double click on the 'myObject' to select it for
doing a copy->paste operation. However, currently in Eclipse it will
select the whole 'myObject:MyMethod' section. I was hoping there was some
way to get Eclipse to not select over a colon with a double click, just as
it currently does with a period.
So far I've not found anything in the preferences that will do what I want
- does anyone know another way to get it to work?
Thanks,
Tim

What's selected on double-click depends on the editor you are using. The
editor can define this (just take a look how it's done in the Java
editor for example). You should file a bug report against the Lunar
Eclipse plug-in.
