change highlight regexp boundaries from \b to \W

fixes #708
\b is between \w\W or \W\w, therefore doesn't match "^nickname^ something" due to "^ " being \W\W characters

History

#1 Updated by valuial almost 15 years ago

Workaround: generate a custom highlight word with regular expression ".*\^V\^.*" (or "\s?\^V\^\s" ?)

#2 Updated by valuial almost 15 years ago

Seen another one today in chat: square-brackets [ and ] also break highlighting. cheers [Enrico]
