Description
Description
The main idea would be is to grant a higher priority to the quotes [`"']+ over other \W symbols. As they're used to wrap content up and it is important to respect their boundaries.
"(?s)(?:some|ThInG).*$"
Trying to delete/navigate through similar RegEx, it currently yoinks"(?and).*$", but would be much preferable if it were split into" <= (? <= ...and... => ).*$ => "respectively.
Optionally, and perhaps exclusively for the SubWord mode, can similar logic be applied to brackets, parentheses, or any other paired delimiters, that do not match its closing/opening pair?
Or in the "back-to-back" position ( e.g. )(, ],{ ), which is often the case with RegEx or nested data structures.
[(),[],{}]or{[[()]]}
These sequences would be wiped from any position to start/end, but when properly separated by\scharacters[ (), [], {} ],{ [ [ () ] ] }they are treated as expected.
Could be useful when working with string formatting patterns ( e.g.f"Items: {[z,x.c,v]}",$"{}/{}/{}.{($ext)}"), or building some poorly designed data structure
With SubWord mode being considered less hasty and more precise, perhaps it is a good idea? Then again, maybe it's just me whining, as the default navigation mode already does that, so no pressure here.

Research direction
Reproduce the quoted and back-to-back delimiter examples in (Sub)?Word navigation mode. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first locate the navigation-mode implementation and existing tests; clarify whether quote priority, paired delimiters, or both are in scope, then define expected cursor and deletion boundaries before changing behavior.
