I'm actually using Expression Web 2, but I'm assuming this minor problem is consists throughout the entire Expression suite.
I have the following constant in PHP; "TESTING_123". If I want to quickly copy and paste that entire constant, I double click it. But the only thing that is highlighted is "TESTING", "_123" is left off. If I have the following "function foo ($var1, $var2)", and I want to quickly copy and paste "foo" for use throughout the script, I try the same method, but I get "foo ". (with the space)
These behaviors seem backwards to me. Is it at all possible to be able to select the entire constant, and/or select just the name of the function without the space? (through some option) I looked throughout page editor options, but I found nothing about it.
I believe it's these very minor imperfections, that in the long run, make it inconvenient to a perfectionist like me. I also realize this is the behavior of a browser, or a normal text editor. And it that case, it can be convenient. However, we're modifing code which doesn't use regular grammer, we're dealing with code that's very different from a normal human language. I think a code editor should acknowledge that, and realize "this_this" means "this_this" and not "this this". "function" means "function", not "function is part of a sentence". Most other code editors that I have tried, do it correctly, or what seems to me to be correct.
Are there any ways I can suggest a feature request or behavior change for Expression?
