Text selection issues in Hyper

• I am on the latest Hyper.app version

• Hyper 2.0.0 (stable):

Issue

I use vim editor in Hyper for coding in C.
When selecting text in hyper, the selection happens until encountering a SPACE or braces.
But if a C code lie contains use of pointers like below
a->b = &x;

Now here if I try to just select 'b' the whole text "a->b" gets selected.

I am using 'copyOnSelect: true' so that i can copy and paste variables just by selection. But since the whole thing gets selected it becomes relatively hard to use.

Start by reproducing the selection behavior in Hyper.app 2.0.0 on macOS with vim, copyOnSelect enabled, and the example a->b = &x;. Compare selection in vanilla Hyper with the reported behavior. Done means selecting only the variable b rather than the entire a->b text.
