[solved] SciTE-Lua: Selection problem

[BugFix]

I've an unexpected behavior by selections  in SciTE.

The following script causes, the word under the cursor is selected. This can either apply to the Word character (by pressing Ctrl + Shift + E) or additionally with leading "$" for variables (by pressing Ctrl + E).

This works perfectly - as long as the right of the term is a space. If this is not so, then ranges are selected that do not correspond to the markers. Incidentally, it does not matter how I run the selection ( Selection Start / Stop; SetSel (); CharRightExtend () ), always the same behavior.

Any Ideas..

 Edit: Have found the failure - by default use SciTe "Ctrl+E" to match next brace. No i've changed the hotkey and it works like expected. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
EditKey = EventClass:new(Common)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- expand selection to full variable ($variable) or only the word characters (variable)
---------------- SetSelection( ) -----------------------------------------
function SetSelection(_part)
    local isWordChar = function(_char)
        if string.char(_char):find('[a-zA-Z0-9_]') then return true end
        return false
    end
    local iStart = editor.CurrentPos
    local iEnd = iStart
    while isWordChar(editor.CharAt[iStart-1]) do
        iStart = iStart - 1
    end
    if string.char(editor.CharAt[iStart-1]) == "$" and _part == false then iStart = iStart - 1 end
    while isWordChar(editor.CharAt[iEnd]) do
        iEnd = iEnd + 1
    end
    if iStart ~= iEnd then
        editor.SelectionStart = iStart
        editor.SelectionEnd   = iEnd
    end
end -->SetSelection
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------- Event: OnKey -----------------------------------------
function EditKey:OnKey(_keycode, _shift, _ctrl, _alt)
    if _ctrl and     _shift and not _alt and _keycode == 69 then SetSelection(true) end   --- expand selection to full word with only Wordcharacters
    if _ctrl and not _shift and not _alt and _keycode == 69 then SetSelection(false) end  --- expand selection to full word with Wordcharacters and leading "$"
    return nil
end  --> EditKey

I was just about to have a look and saw you also posted this question in the SciTE-Interest group.

Good to see it was solved.

I'm a little bit confused - it may be 1 or 2 hours after posting in Google groups, than i detected the solution by myself. Instantly i have deleted the post in Google groups. Where have you found this post now? I cant find them in the time line.

I've now seen, that Neil has also answered. Exists a copy of any posting there also if it is deleted?

Maybe it was still in the RSS feed?

Info from Neil: It will be remembered forever here: http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.editors.scite.general

And it was sent also a email notification for new entries. (I've also selected this feature    )

I get an email with all-new-posts-of-the-day, for both SciTE and Scintilla, and saw it in there.
