Bug 363933

There are a couple of common conventions when naming things in code:

CamelCase
word_delimited

The behavior when double clicking on the above is identical, the entire word is selected.

When I try select using the keyboard (CTRL-SHIFT->) CamelCase is selected as expected.  The selection processor stops at _ when trying to select word_delimited.  _'s are treated as word delimiters, requiring my to hit > 3 times to do what should be a single keystroke.  It looks like _ is being treated as an operator.

I'd request that either adding "_" to the character list that is used to define variable names, or allowing users access to access this list would be helpful.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open any editor
2.  Type this_is_a_strange_variable_name
3.  Type Ctrl-Shift-< and you should see that just name is selected.  Hitting < a second time, will select the _ and hitting < a total of 11 times selects the entire variable name

It should be noted that simply double clicking the name selects the entire name, so therein lies the code difference.
