Treatment of non-letters in filenames as spaces

Post by *nemadeka »

I often use files with underscores an dashes in the filename.
I also have the extentions displayed.
When renaming files, I habitually use Clrt+LeftArrow or Ctrl+RighArrow to jump to the next word, as you can do in a text editor or an Office file open dialog, but Total Commander jumps the whole filename.
It would be nice to have the underscores, dashes, etc. treated as "cursor stoppers".
Thank you.

But might get difficult with unicode filenames.

It would be also nice to get Delete/Backspace behave properly with Ctrl in ALL text input fields (i.e. "File comment" dialogue).

I really strongly support this again! It was already discussed a few times (e.g. here: http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=23848)

I still hope Christian can find some time and a solution for this. The lack of additional stop-chatacters very often costs me quite a bunch of additional keypresses when inline-renaming files.

In the copy-dialog e.g., the cursor stops ant e.g. underscores, so it should technically be possible. Maybe it could be optional...
