Changes view: add option to prefer selecting whole word on double click (don't stop on underscore separator)
In the code/diff view, I noticed that double click selects only a sub-word, stopping at underscore separator.
I often copy paste class and method names into my commit message from the diff view, so it would be convenient to copy full symbol names such as "_can_start_attack" instead of just a subword, on double-click. For now, I must manually highlight the full word.
For retrocompatibility, an option could be added to preserve the old behaviour (subword select on double-click), or switch to full word highlight.
The option could be placed in the global preferences and/or, for quick access, in the small Hamburger menu of the code/diff view.

Related, there could be an option to navigate per full word instead of subword when using Ctrl+Left/Right in text fields such as the Commit message area
Wow, I'm using 22.1.4 now and it seems that double-click selects whole word!
I don't see an option to revert to partial world selection, but it's not issue for me personally as I only exclusively care about copying full symbols.
Can you confirm the behavior change is official? Then you can close the ticket.
EDIT: I also upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 in the meantime. It's possible it affected selection if SmartGit is relying on OS-level text handling.
For the file compare control SmartGit considers letters, digits and _ as word character.
