In text fields, Alt+arrow should split on "." and "_", not just "-" [DONE]
In text fields, Alt+arrow should split on "." and "_", not just "-" [DONE]
In Finder, when I’m renaming files (or creating a folder and editing its name for example), I can use Alt+arrowkey to step through portions of the filename and Alt+Shift+arrowkey to select portions of the filename. Finder recognizes "." and "-" as portion separators. Nimble only recognizes "-" but not "." (so you cannot quickly select just the extension). Ideally, it should recognize ".", "-", "_", "," and some other non-word characters as not part of a word, so if I have a filename like "automatic_file.version1.txt" then I should be able to step through "automatic", then "file" and then "version1" and finally "txt".

Just make some complicated filenames and then in Finder, do Rename and then when editing the file name, use Alt+arrowkey and Shift+arrowkeys to step through portions of the name. You’ll see how fast it is. Nimble cannot even split on ".", so if I have a file "report-older.txt" and I do Rename in place, then press DownArrow to jump to the end of the name and then I press Shift+Alt+LeftArrow, Nimble will select "older.txt" while Finder will only select "txt" so I can quickly replace the file extension.

Good point.
I've added stops at the following characters: ".", ",", "-", "_", "/", "\".
Will be available in the next preview build.
