Propeller tool requests

SSteve

A couple requests for changes to Propeller Tool.

1) Double-clicking to select a word should not consider the underscore character to be a word delimiter. Since the underscore is a valid part of a label or a number, the user is almost always going to want to select the entire number or label when double-clicking.

2) Unchecking "Color" in the print dialog should turn off the background colors everywhere, not just under areas with text. Ideally I'd like a separate checkbox to turn off just the colored backgrounds but leave syntax coloring enabled. It would use a lot less ink.

Regarding Item #2, my printer does the same thing.
If I turn off the color print within its menu, any background that is unrelated to a particular character still gets printed.

Not only do I waste the color ink, it is even harder to read than plain old black and white.
For now, I just print in all color.

I may try cut and paste to Notepad as another interim remedy.

It happens in Print Preview too, so I don't think it's related to any specific printer.

····· ANOTHER pet Peeve of mine,Put a DELAY fadeout time on Idiot BOXES instead of having to hit OK everytime a BOX pops up.
···· if I,m testing the RES cause the darn prop is not being recognized,I don't want to keep hitting OK all the time to reset it so I can send
···· a pulse to the darn thing,what is wrong with·putting a Delay of x amount before going away?·And it could be tick boxed as to
