Mac OSX / Xcode, double click the word to select it, selects across dots and other characters

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Wrapping word configuration in mac

I don't know if it's supposed to work like on Windows, but some apps like Chrome, Firefox are doing this as expected and some, like XCode or Text Edit not.

Example, double click on newRectangle word

factory.newRectangle(320, 0, 1, 480)

Chrome, Firefox: selects only newRectangle word.

XCode, TextEdit: selects all this: factory.newRectangle.

Is there a way to set that up?

Ok, looks like somebody else bumped it up to 1 point. Still no answers though. — , Feb 08 '11 at 21:27
FWIW, I get the chrome/firefox behavior in xcode 3.2.5 64bit os x 10.6.6 — xdumaine, Mar 17 '11 at 11:47
@roviuser See the linked topic. You probably have a different setting than Murgh. — Daniel Beck, Mar 17 '11 at 14:01

See the answer I gave on this Superuser question. Basically you need to set this up for all Cocoa applications (like XCode and TextEdit).

Thanks for trying to help but it doesn't work with xCode. Still selects across dots. – Feb 09 '11 at 14:39
Did you really restart XCode? Also: which version are you using? Because it works for me under XCode 3.2.5! – Asmus Feb 09 '11 at 14:50
Yeah, I CMD-Q'd and reopened. I have 3.2.2 - 64 bit. Still selects across dots. – Feb 09 '11 at 19:26
