I'm accustomed to having the option in most code IDEs to use hotkeys (such as shift-alt-right) to select portions of words. For instance, pressing that hotkey when my caret was on the start of the word "testThing" would cause the caret to select the subword "test" and stop just before "Thing". In other words, it selects going forward, but stops just before the next case-change, piece of punctuation, or whitespace.

I believe this is enabled in the Java editing of Eclipse and controlled by the editor setting "smart caret positioning in Java names." I'm not sure why it's not available for all text editors in Eclipse by default.

It would greatly improve my coding productivity, and my ease in switching between other IDEs, if this capability were added to Enomic. Thank you!
