Middle dot patch (1.47 KB, patch)

Middle dot patch

The default string for characters that are part of a word is:

-A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_=+@~

This is missing the middle dot character, which makes selection of Catalan words like "sil·laba" break.

I'm attaching a proposed patch.

Thanks,
Jordi

Instead of adding just 1 language-specific character, the whole feature should be re-thought and just making it use regex-like \w ? That would need vte work, however.
Comment 2 Jordi Mallach 2013-06-27 09:11:41 UTC 
Maybe the string can be made translatable, and every language team can decide if they need to change the default to suit their needs.
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2014-04-07 19:05:48 UTC 
Fixed on master.
