editor: Treat punctuation as separate word boundaries (#62224)
# Objective Fixes FR-149 - Make word movement and selection predictable around punctuation. - Prior art: [#58882](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/58882), [#61916](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/61916), and their revert [#62213](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/62213). ## Solution - Treat words and punctuation runs as separate movement units in both directions. - This adds a stop between leading punctuation and its following word, such as `.▏foo`. ## Testing - Added table-driven coverage for reported examples, delimiters, operators, punctuation runs, and Unicode punctuation. - Tested editor movement, selection, and deletion behavior. ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable --- Release Notes: - Fixed word movement and selection stopping on the wrong side of punctuation.
