double-click not selecting @ in variable name

[gbritton1]

SQL Operations Studio Version: 0.23.6

Steps to Reproduce:
DECLARE @var int;

double-click on @var, only 'var' is selected

You can fix this by removing the @ character in the editor.wordSeparators setting. I would agree that this should probably be excluded by default though.

that worked. thanks!

Thanks folks. I've reached out to the VSCode team to see if we can override this on a per-language basis. Ideally we'd just handle the fact SQL uses the @var pattern but most other languages treat this separately. Will keep the issue open until we hear back. We could override the default if necessary, but I'd prefer a more targeted fix.

FWIW Python uses @ as the first character of a decorator name, as does Java.

I've created microsoft/vscode#39218 as a tracking issue for this. Ideally we should be doing this on a per-language basis rather than changing a global default. We can still consider changing this for all of Operations Studio but I think the "correct" solution is in that issue and is upstream of Ops Studio.

Please also investigate the '$. issue discussed in #224 when resolving this issue.
