`SelectWordLeft`/`SelectWordRight` behave inconsistently for non-word characters

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

  1. Type this:
[]
  1. Put the cursor at the beginning of the line and perform the action SelectWordRight -- this selects the [
  2. Do it again and it selects both [ and ]
  3. Put the cursor at the end of the line and perform the action SelectWordLeft -- this selects the ]
  4. Do it again and nothing changes

It seems like SelectWordLeft cannot select the first character in a file if it is a non-word character.

I tried testing using micro v2.0.13 but nothing changed when SelectWordRight is done at end of line so I think you performed SelectWordLeft. I do not specifically know how it was changed but selection behavior was changed at 78fcf2f. Both brackets are selected when selecting word at left and right with the changes done in the commit.

There is no release where the change is included but the nightly releases in GitHub can be downloaded and used.

Ugh you're correct, sorry for the bad copy/paste. Edited to fix.
