[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65518] Problems with right-click menu on Command Window

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #65518 (group octave):

Yes, that's correct.  We could eliminate the word boundary checking and get
the same result.

What do we really want to have happen here?  It doesn't seem necessary to
restrict the user to selecting one word.  For example, if the user highlights
"axes properties", then they should be able to get documentation on that
search term, rather than just "axes" which will return something different.  I
suppose trimming leading and trailing whitespace would be useful because
help() expects just a keyword.

This regexp trims whitespace and allows multiple word selections


        QRegularExpression expr {"^\\s*(\\w.*)\\s*$"};
