Description

I sometimes try to select the table name without the schema (or vice-versa) using ` + + `, but I always end up selecting the table name and the schema. Double clicking correctly recognises the dot as a word boundary and selects only the schema or the table name.

Research direction

Reproduce the keyboard-selection behavior described with Alt+Shift+Left or Right, comparing it with double-click selection around a dot. Trace the desktop text-selection entry point that handles word boundaries, then verify that schema and table names can be selected independently without changing other word navigation behavior.
