Can't select multiple Chinese characters after 1385a

Post by 775405984 »

After ver. 1385a, I can't select multiple Chinese characters by double clicking.
Ver. 1383a works fine.

Everything 1.5.0.1384a removed double click select word as there was issues with the right to left selection.

I didn't realize how bad the stock double click selection was..
Windows Explorer has the same issue.

I will revert this change.
Thank you for bringing the issue to my attention.

Everything 1.5.0.1386a improves word selection.

I have reverted to the previous "Everything" double click word select.

This Everything word select method will now also apply to Ctrl + Left, Ctrl + Right, Ctrl + Shift + Left and Ctrl + Shift + Right.



To change the word select method to the System word select:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    word
  • Select: edit_word_select
  • Set the value to: (Use default)
  • Click OK.
edit_word_select



To disable selecting the trailing punctuation on Ctrl + Left / Ctrl + Right:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    word
  • Select: edit_word_select_trailing_punctuation
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.
edit_word_select_trailing_punctuation
