Word selection in QTextEdit behaves unlike other text editors

XMLWordPrintable

      When entering the following text into a QTextEdit

      "some test" some other text

      and positioning the cursor at the start of the word "test" and the pressing CTRL-SHIFT-CursorRight a selection will be created that includes the " and the next space.

      Many text editors, e.g. Visual Studio 2005, TextPad and Word stop at the " char, so that the word is selected without the trailing ".

      It would be useful if QTextEdit could be configured which chars are "stop" chars for CTRL-SHIFT-Left/Right selections.
