Quick setup

First of all, put the following code into your Lua startup file:

function isWordChar(char)

    local strChar = string.char(char)

    local beginIndex = string.find(strChar, '%w')

    if beginIndex ~= nil then

        return true

    end

    if strChar == '_' then

        return true

    end

    return false

end



function SelectWord()

    local beginPos = editor.CurrentPos

    local endPos = beginPos

    while isWordChar(editor.CharAt[beginPos-1]) do

        beginPos = beginPos - 1

    end

    while isWordChar(editor.CharAt[endPos]) do

        endPos = endPos + 1

    end

    if beginPos ~= endPos then

        editor.SelectionStart = beginPos

        editor.SelectionEnd   = endPos

    end

end

After that, you need to bind a shortcut key for SelectWord. In your properties file place the following code, replacing 13 with an unused command number. Also, feel free to use whatever shortcut you like instead of Ctrl+J.

command.name.13.*=Select Word

command.mode.13.*=subsystem:lua,savebefore:no,groupundo

command.shortcut.13.*=Ctrl+J

command.13.*=SelectWord
