[Script Editor] choose if select by ctrl+d chosses next occurence as (whole_word) or as part of a larger word

[Variable-ind]

Hy 👋, i am having a problem... there are a lot of variables/functions in the script that share some piece of word
e.g variable and another_variable both share the part (variable) in their name. so when i want to quick select (using Ctrl + d) the variable then a part of another_variable also gets selected (even though it was not highlighted by the dim white rectangle).

in short: I don't want another_variable to get selected 😭 .

it would be nice if i can change the behaviour of how this selection works in settings
(i-e choose to select if next Occurrence (e.g variable) is part of a bigger word (e.g another_variable) or not)

I'd say the best would be to add a new shortcut for this behaviour, as some might rely on it, or might want both

This is handled internally in TextEdit, and changing it there would be very easy, just adding a flag to the arguments to search

This should use the "Whole Word" checkbox state to determine whether it applies to a whole word or a section of.

[AThousandShips]

What checkbox? This isn't for the find bar but for the shortcut, and not just the editor but any text editor, a checkbox doesn't exist as such here

[ghost]

I know it's for the shorcut, but changing the state of the checkbox in the FindBar would allow you to specify the behaviour of the shortcut.

Then ask, and I explained it in one of my comments as "reply to my comments". Also how do you intend "go bother someone else" is supposed to be interpreted?

If you are upset at my behavior then either talk to me about it or the code of conduct team, but this kind of behavior is not the way to approach it.

I am sorry if my way of speaking upsets you or annoys you, but please do not speak for some "a lot of people" but for yourself. This is a text format, and there's various aspects of how people talk that come across poorly on text. What you call brusqueness is simply my way of speaking, as per the code of conduct:

Always assume positive intent from others. Be aware that differences in culture and English proficiency make written communication more difficult than face-to-face communication and that your interpretation of messages may not be the one the author intended.

If you have an issue with the way I speak, then talk to me, or someone else, about it instead of becoming rude because I don't speak the way you want me to, I am not a mind-reader.

Me pointing out issues and questions about an idea is not "jump right on top of it and shut it down", that's what discussions about features is, if you cannot handle constructive criticism that's something you have to work with.

So, if you have a problem with the way I speak or communicate, then talk to me, don't just assume that I intend to be rude or brusque, you assuming intent from me when none exists, and interpreting my way of speaking as something it isn't, isn't constructive or professional, please understand that communication is two way and it's up to you to communicate your grievances, not to bottle it up and then lash out at me because I somehow don't pick up on what you are feeling.

I only care about making GODOT better. To me, what you say and how you say it comes across as aggressive. if that's not the case, then I'm sorry, I misinterpreted. Just get on with your life & I'll get on with mine.

[AThousandShips]

And I care about that and a constructive functional environment

And one important part of that is communication, and you need to recognize that you need to communicate about these things, not just assume, that's the grease that keeps the machine going. Assuming intent and aggressiveness, when none exists, is a failure of communication on your part.

I am sorry that the way that I communicate offends you, but you also need to recognize that not everyone communicates the way you do, or with the same assumptions or expectations that you do. If you feel that you are treated rudely, or unfairly, or anything, then you need to communicate that, either to the person who you are having problems with, or the code of conduct team

This is a fundamentally important skill in being active in a collaborative environment, and it's not helpful, or polite, to treat others based on your own assumptions.

So thank you for communicating how you feel, but please consider that there are many differences with how people communicate, and that no one is benefitted by making assumptions about the intent of others without basis.

I hope you have a good day!

If you do not want me to interact with you I will respect that

Just sayin', I see nothing aggressive in what @AThousandShips says - both here and on other issues she communicates the general rules this repository adheres to, and does so in a way that should be clear to newcomers
