gedit underscore as a word_character

Question

Is it possible to configure gedit to treat the underscore character as a word character?

Currently, it appears that the editor treats "two_words" as two separate words when selecting, instead of a single word as in many other mainstream text editors.

Answer 1

This seems to be an open requested feature (some may say bug!).

However, it looks like someone has created a plugin to resolve:
