GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 665908
Double-click to select an e-mail address
Last modified: 2020-11-24 09:57:49 UTC
Say I have this example, Hey, you know the person GEdit_org@DavidBlaineFullerton.com is a cool dude If I double-click to grab all of "GEdit_org@DavidBlaineFullerton.com " it takes me a million clicks to get it. It is easier just to move mouse, highlight it all, and then clipboard it. I'd like a setting to allow it to be likes windows where you can click once to edit in it, then d.c. to select enteire thing between setencnes. I love it working that way. So, doing code for homework, or I'd say more, but thank your community for making something like LInux. I'm exposed in Univ Houston, and I'll probably go Linux one day and move away from Windows. Thks, Bye.
I played with it again in GEdit and it'll select the whole line, that should be a triple-click or something. DC should grab the entire word. Confusing in the UI to me.
It takes a million clicks because @ _ . are considered not parts of words. This would work for doubleclicking if bug 400098 got fixed. Do you agree that this is the same as bug 400098?
Bug 400098 only refers to treating _ as a word character. To get the functionality requested, _ and @ would have to be treated as word characters, making this bug a super set of bug 400098. I think this should be marked as depending on bug 400098
The double-click behavior has been improved in gedit 3.15. But it doesn't "just work" for e-mail addresses or URLs.
Mass-closing of all gedit bugzilla tickets. Special "code" to find again all those gedit bugzilla tickets that were open before the mass-closing: 2bfe1b0590a78457e1f1a6a90fb975f5878cb60064ccfe1d7db76ca0da52f0f3 By searching the above sha256sum in bugzilla, the gedit contributors can find again the tickets. We may be interested to do so when we work on a specific area of the code, to at least know the known problems and possible enhancements. We do this mass-closing because bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org.
