avy-word-punc-regexp in avy-goto-subword-1

[antonyshchenko]

Hi @abo-abo ,

Would it be possible for avy-goto-subword-1 to take avy-word-punc-regexp into account?
I'm using avy-goto-word-or-subword-1 and I would like to be able to jump to words beginning from @ for example which is very common in Ruby.

I don't see it here. I use avy-goto-word-or-subword-1 and type @ and it just works. Does that not work for you?

[abo-abo]

Oh, i see it - forgot to enable subword-mode.

You have to customize your Emacs like this:

(setq subword-backward-regexp
      "\\(\\(\\W\\|[[:lower:][:digit:]]\\)\\([@[:upper:]]+\\W*\\)\\|\\W\\w+\\)")

I can't change that variable in avy, since packages shouldn't do that. Note that I only added a single @ when compared to the default value of subword-backward-regexp. You can add more chars if you want.

I decided on binding subword-backward-regexp temporarily, so it should all be automatic now.

Thank you! 👍
