Remove Trailing Space on Selection

[Dave]

When a word is double-clicked, the Editor selects the word along with the space after it. It also selects the end of sentence punctuation if the word happens to be the last in the sentence.

How can I prevent this from happening? I just need the word itself selected.

Thanks-
Dave

Hello Dave,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to achieve this behavior with the current version of the control without modifying the source of the control.
We will consider changing the current behavior when it comes to selecting the punctuation marks after the last word in a sentence. Will that be sufficient in your scenario? If not, could you give us some more details on why you would need to include only the word in the selection?

A user double-clicks a word in the editor to select it.

I want to allow a user to underline (among other things) the highlighted text. So, by including the trailing punctuation (or the space at the end of the word) you end up underlining the space as well as the word.

If I could somehow truncate the space from the end of the selection text (just ending up with the text of the selected word) that would be great.

Hi Dave,

On double-clicking a word, the intervals after it are normally also selected. This is particularly convenient for clipboard commands and is what most text editors do in this case. We are not considering a change in the current behavior at this point and unfortunately, there is no workaround that you could use to achieve this behavior.
On the other hand, if you don't select the word, but just position the caret somewhere in it and trigger the ToggleUnderlineCommand, only the word will be underlined.
I hope this answers your question.

All the best,
